Small RNA plays parallel roles in bacterial metabolism
They are often overlooked, and were once thought to be too small to contribute much to major cellular processes, but in recent years the study of small ribonucleic acids (sRNA) has gained momentum.   view more (2007-11-30)

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)

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)

Discovery of 'sugar sensor' in intestine could benefit diabetes
Diabetes patients could benefit from new research at the University of Liverpool that has identified a molecule in the intestine that can 'taste' the sugar content of the diet.   view more (2007-08-22)

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)

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)

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)

Apelin to rescue diabetics
Sugar is naturally present in the blood in the form of glucose and is stored in the liver or adipose tissue (fat) thanks to the action of insulin. Glucose is stored or directly used to ensure satisfactory function of the heart, brain and so on according to the body's demands.   view more (2008-11-05)

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)

Ultrafast laser spectrometer measures heat flow through molecules
Global warming isn't the only heat scientists are feeling. Another area in which heat flow is becoming crucial is the field of molecular electronics, where long-chain molecules attached to tiny electrodes are used to transport and switch electrons.   view more (2007-08-10)

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)

Apelin hormone injections powerfully lower blood sugar
By injecting a hormone produced by fat and other tissues into mice, researchers report in the November Cell Metabolism that they significantly lowered blood sugar levels in normal and obese mice.   view more (2008-11-05)

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)

Scientists explain how insulin secreting cells maintain their glucose sensitivity
Scientists at the leading Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have now disclosed the mystery how the insulin-secreting cells maintain an appropriate number of ATP sensing ion channel proteins on their surface.   view more (2007-09-06)

Ghrelin: A player in diabetes but not obesity?
Ghrelin, a hormone long considered a key player in obesity, may instead take a major role in maintaining the balance between insulin and glucose and the development of diabetes.   view more (2006-05-10)

First structure of transporter enzyme family is solved - Finding will aid drug design to combat depression, stroke and diabetes
Scientists are a step closer to understanding how essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals are ferried into cells. For the first time, a member of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of transport proteins, found in almost every form of life, has been visualised by researchers from Imperial... view more (2003-07-30)

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)

Scientists learn structure of enzyme in unusual virus
Biologists have determined the three-dimensional structure of an unusual viral enzyme that is required in the assembly of new viruses.   view more (2007-09-18)

Joslin Researchers Discover a Surprising Culprit in the Search for Causes of Diabetic Birth Defects
Over the past several years, Joslin Investigator Mary R. Loeken, Ph.D., and her colleagues at Joslin Diabetes Center have unlocked several mysteries behind what puts women with diabetes more at risk of having a child with birth defects.   view more (2007-03-06)

Blood sugar's manufacture limited by building blocks' supply
Researchers have discovered a factor that controls blood sugar's manufacture in a novel way: by limiting the supply of its building blocks. The findings are reported in the April issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press.   view more (2007-04-04)

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)
