A model of Pancreas based on the insulin extracting gel-polymer system
If the blood glucose overcontents (permissible content is 0.8-1 mg/ml), the pancreas be-gins to extract some inculin by which an unnecessary glucose is eliminated from blood and is assimilated by tissues. view more (1999-08-20)
Bypassing the insulin highway
An immune cell known as a neutrophil releases a protein that can suppress glucose production in the liver -without targeting insulin, researchers have found. view more (2008-04-28)
Life can be sweet in old age
Psychologists have discovered that taking glucose in old age can improve memory. Leigh Riby and Cheryl Glover of Glasgow Caledonian University will present the results of their study today, Thursday 15 April 2004, at the British Psychological Society's Annual Conference at Imperial College, London. The study was carried out using 20 people aged... view more... (2004-04-16)
Detection Of Glucose Intolerance After Heart Attack Could Identify Patients At High Risk Of Further Cardiovascular Disease
A Swedish study in this week's issue of THE LANCET confirms that people admitted to hospital with an acute heart attack are at an increased risk of having undiagnosed diabetes or increased glucose intolerance. Findings of the new study suggest that the fasting glucose of patients or high glucose concentrations immediately after heart attack could... view more... (2002-06-19)
Glucose and memory performance
Many people have experienced the fear of walking into an exam room and suddenly feeling like they can't remember a thing. However, a possible solution could be taking glucose as, according to new research, this improves memory performance and enables people to retain more information. These are the findings presented today Thursday 14 March by Dr... view more... (2002-02-27)
Software might revolutionize glucose monitoring in critically ill patients
Researchers have developed a new computerized system to easily monitor the levels of glucose in the blood of patients in intensive care. view more (2005-12-19)
Abnormal glucose metabolism may contribute to chronic nerve disorder
Abnormal glucose metabolism, which occurs when the body has difficulty processing sugar (glucose) into energy, is twice as common among patients with chronic nerve dysfunction of unknown cause than among the general population and may be a risk factor for the condition. view more (2006-06-13)
Can berberine enhance glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in rat islets?
The therapeutical actions of berberine on diabetes have been well studied. Previous researches show that berberine modulates cholesterol through increasing low-density lipoprotein receptor mRNA stability, reduces body adiposity and increases insulin sensitivity partly through activating AMP-activated protein kinase and improves glucose metabolism... view more...

Findings challenge common practice regarding glucose control for critically ill patients
An analysis of randomized trials indicates that for critically ill adults, tight glucose control is not associated with a significantly reduced risk of death in the hospital, but is associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia, calling into question the recommendation by many professional societies for tight glucose control for these patients. view more (2008-08-27)
Brain's impaired ability to sense glucose might play role in type 2 diabetes
New findings from studies in mice suggest that defects in the brain's ability to respond to glucose play a role in the development of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes, and that a high-fat diet may contribute to impairing brain cells' ability to regulate glucose throughout the body. view more (2007-08-30)
Researchers discover mechanism of insulin production that can lead to better treatment for diabetes
How a specific gene within the pancreas affects secretion of insulin has been discovered by researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in collaboration with Japanese and American universities. view more (2009-11-13)
Sweet fuel supply
A new type of fuel cell powered with glucose derived from biomass is described in the latest issue of the Inderscience Publication International Journal of Global Energy Issues. view more (2007-11-28)
Continuous infusion of hydrocortisone reduces hyperglyaemia in patients with septic shock
Changing how critically ill patients are treated with hydrocortisone could reduce hyperglycemia. view more (2007-02-16)
Joint replacement patients with diabetes greatly benefit from controlled glucose
Diabetics undergoing total joint replacement often are at a higher risk of experiencing complications after surgery due to various pre-existing health conditions. view more (2009-07-01)
Scientists closer to understanding how to control high blood sugar
Scientists are closer to understanding which proteins help control blood sugar, or glucose, during and after exercise. This understanding could lead to new drug therapies or more effective exercise to prevent Type 2 diabetes and other health problems associated with having high blood sugar. view more (2009-03-19)
Dangerous glucose-hungry cervical tumors can be detected using PET scans
Cervical cancers that take up a lot of blood sugar, or glucose, are more resistant to treatment than those that are less glucose-hungry, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-03-31)
Glucose levels trigger compensation for type 2 diabetics
Many individuals with type 2 diabetes are diabetic because the cells of their body no longer respond to the hormone insulin, which is crucial for lowering blood sugar levels (blood glucose levels). view more (2007-01-03)
Self-monitoring of blood glucose
Diabetes patients should always control their own blood sugar values if this leads to improvements in their treatment. view more (2009-09-29)
atugen AG demonstrates in vivo proof-of-concept in siRNA therapeutics
Berlin, 11 May 2004 - atugen AG, The Gene Silencing Company, announced today that it has demonstrated, in vivo, proof-of-concept in functional delivery of its highly stable siRNA therapeutics. In a series of repeat studies to test glucose tolerance in normal rodents, atugen's siRNA therapy was shown to be effective in regulating blood sugar... view more... (2004-05-11)
Pregnant women with mildly abnormal blood sugar levels at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes
Gestational diabetes happens in more than three per cent of pregnancies in Ontario. Usually the condition resolves itself after delivery, but many studies have shown that these women are at a very high risk for developing "regular" type 2 diabetes later in life. view more (2009-05-21)
