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,... view more (2004-04-16)

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)

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... 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... view more (2002-02-27)

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... view more (2008-08-27)

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)

Current screening test for prediabetes in children misses the diagnosis too often
Obese children, who are at increased risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, may not be getting the most appropriate test to screen for these conditions, a new Canadian study found.   view more (2008-06-16)

Cholesterol drug hits diabetes with one-two punch, Tulane study says
Patients with type 2 diabetes may soon be able to control their glucose and their cholesterol levels with a single drug.   view more (2007-07-09)

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... view more (2008-11-03)

Smoking, low levels of education and glucose tolerance increase risk of rheumatoid arthritis
New data presented today at EULAR 2007, the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Barcelona, Spain, sheds light on the role of environmental and genetic risk factors in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).   view more (2007-06-18)

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)

People with diabetes may have all natural citrus supplement
Two new studies presented at the Experimental Biology Annual Meeting suggest that an all-natural dietary supplement made from citrus may help people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood glucose numbers after a meal and their LDL-cholesterol levels.   view more (2008-04-09)

From diagnostic tool to cancer therapy
Cancer patients could be benefiting more than they realise from diagnostic scans. Research published today in Breast Cancer Research suggests that a radioactive molecule widely used to evaluate advanced tumours can kill cancer cells. Dr Ekaterina Dadachova and her team from the Albert Einstein... view more (2003-08-20)

Physical activity linked to improved glucose control in children with type 1 diabetes
Children with type 1 diabetes who exercise regularly may have improved blood glucose levels compared with those who do not, and regular physical activity does not appear to increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels).   view more (2006-06-06)

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)

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)

Unexpected function for a key regulator of blood glucose levels
Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies then reported their discovery of a key cellular switch that instructs the liver to produce more glucose when blood sugar levels run low.   view more (2005-11-10)

UCLA researchers clarify function of glucose transport molecule
Researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have solved the structure of a class of proteins known as sodium glucose co-transporters (SGLTs), which pump glucose into cells.   view more (2008-07-07)

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... view more (2004-05-11)

A potential sugar fix for tumors
Researchers at the Duke School of Medicine apparently have solved the riddle of why cancer cells like sugar so much, and it may be a mechanism that could lead to better cancer treatments.   view more (2008-04-16)

Study identifies glucose 'sensor' that plays dual role in glucose metabolism and fat synthesis
In the study, glucose is shown to stimulate the activity of the Liver X Receptors (LXR) a and b, The LXRs act as sensors of dietary components, orchestrating the body's response to nutrients such as oxysterols (short-lived derivatives of cholesterol) and controlling gene expression linked to... view more (2006-12-27)
