A new study finds four factors that may make it more likely for some people to experience successful weight loss from using ...

Investigators examined the comparative effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists in a real-world setting.

For people with Type 1 diabetes, developing hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is an ever-present threat. When glucose levels ...

This work provides a multidimensional method for the simultaneous, direct quantification of intact human insulin and five insulin analogs in human plasma. This investigation solves both the ...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) results from the cells’ insulin resistance, and to date, insulin therapy and diabetes medications targeting glycemic management have failed to reverse the increase in T2D ...

Children with diabetes who inhaled their mealtime doses of insulin did just as well as those who injected insulin under the skin, researchers reported at the American Diabetes Association ...

The main hormones secreted by the endocrine gland in the pancreas are insulin and glucagon, which regulate the level of glucose in the blood, and somatostatin, which prevents the release of insulin ...

This observation suggests that the known actions of somatostatin in the periphery, with the notable exception of the inhibition of glucagon release, could be attributed to cortistatin instead.

Discussion Although SST is acknowledged as an inhibitor of insulin and glucagon secretion, the physiological relevance of δ-cell SST remains unknown.

Islets of Langerhans are heterogeneous cell aggregates containing β-, α-, δ-, and PP cells, which secrete insulin, glucagon, somatostatin (SST), and pancreatic polypeptide, respectively.

The pancreas plays a role in diabetes because it produces insulin and helps regulate blood sugar levels. We look into the links between diabetes and the pancreas.
