Gut bacteria-produced exopolysaccharides (EPS) help regulate metabolism by modulating gut microbiota, promoting SCFA ...

"When glucose levels don't decrease, this often indicates an issue with insulin sensitivity or production of insulin," says Langer. Such individuals may have diabetes or prediabetes - conditions ...

In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers at the Industrial Sustainable Chemistry group of the University of ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD, is an umbrella term describing conditions related to a ...

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours and liver cancer can hijack the body's metabolic processes, using glucagon to increase glucose production and fuel their growth. In advanced liver cancer, this ...

The aim of this research was to quantify the glucagonostatic contribution to the glucose-lowering effect of GLP-1 infusions in patients with type 2 diabetes. Research design and methods—Ten male ...

Chronic exposure to hyperglycemia can lead to cellular dysfunction that may become irreversible over time, a process that is termed glucose toxicity. Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it ...

In addition to impaired insulin secretion, type 2 diabetic patients also have elevated levels of glucagon, which worsens hyperglycemia by increasing glucose production by the liver. Type 2 ...

which also results in a buildup of blood glucose. Type 2 diabetes can also result from a defect in the production of incretin, a hormone released by the gut after eating that stimulates insulin ...
