Transplant cures rats' type 2 diabetes without need for immune suppression drugs
An approach proven to cure a rat model of type 1 or juvenile-onset diabetes also works in a rat model of type 2 or adult-onset diabetes. view more (2006-09-13)
Obesity may be factor in accelerated type I diabetes in some patients
Obesity, long known as a cause of type II diabetes, may accelerate the onset of type 1 diabetes in some - but not all - groups of younger patients, according to research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and six clinical sites nationally. view more (2006-02-06)
Circulating fats kill transplanted pancreas cells, study shows
Dietary restrictions or other strategies that limit fat formation might make pancreatic cell transplants more effective, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report. view more (2007-08-28)
Losartan prevents life-threatening insulin resistance in burn injuries
Researchers have found a way to prevent insulin resistance in burn-injured rats, a finding that, while still quite preliminary, could eventually save burn victims' lives and speed their recovery. view more (2006-04-06)

Use of growth hormone to boost athletic performance can lead to diabetes, reports a study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2007-02-26)
Fat-generated hormone drives energetic capacity of muscle
The fat-generated hormone adiponectin plays an important role in the energetic capacity of skeletal muscle, according to a new study in the July, 2006, Cell Metabolism. view more (2006-07-06)
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)
Eight new genes linked to diabetes; the understanding of a financial and health monster
Eight genes, normally associated with normal pancreatic functions, are linked with susceptibility to diabetes Type 2 reports a team of investigators in the last issue of the PLoS Biology Journal. In'™s Barroso and colleagues at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom studied 71 genes on more than 2000 individuals, trying to correlate... view more... (2003-11-28)

Ontario children are more likely to get diagnosed with diabetes than their American counterparts. view more (2009-06-09)
Protein critical for insulin secretion may be contributor to diabetes
A cellular protein from a family involved in several human diseases is crucial for the proper production and release of insulin, new research has found, suggesting that the protein might play a role in diabetes. view more (2009-10-27)
Insulin's brain impact links drugs and diabetes
Insulin, long known as an important regulator of blood glucose levels, now has a newly appreciated role in the brain. view more (2007-10-17)
Scientists find that protein controls aging by controlling insulin
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that a protein prolonging life in mice works by controlling insulin. view more (2005-08-26)
Insulin Pills
The issue of insulin-dependent diabetes has long been discussed. No wonder, as the problem concerns more than 5% of the world population. However, despite the enormous efforts and funds spent on its solution, the scientists so far have failed to replace the injections with pills. The difficulty is that insulin (like any other polypeptide) gets... view more... (2002-02-26)
Polycystic ovarian syndrome: New light on its causes and its effect on brothers
Researchers have found evidence that chronic disease in either a mother or father can create unfavourable conditions in the womb that are associated with the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in daughters. view more (2009-06-30)
Study tests oral insulin to prevent type 1 diabetes
University of Florida researchers have begun a clinical study of oral insulin to prevent or delay type 1 diabetes in people at risk for the disease. view more (2007-06-04)
RBP4 predicts type 2 diabetes
A study in the June 15 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) reveals that elevated levels of a molecule called RBP4 (retinol binding protein 4) can foretell early stages in the development of insulin resistance, a major cause of type 2 diabetes as well as cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-06-15)
Fat screen delivers plant-derived chemical with antidiabetic effects
After screening hundreds of compounds for their effects on fat development, researchers have discovered that an ingredient found in some plants fights diabetes in mice without some of the side effects attributed to other antidiabetes drugs. view more (2007-05-09)
University of Florida study shows leptin could combat type 2 diabetes
University of Florida researchers have discovered the appetite-controlling hormone leptin could also combat type 2 diabetes, a disease that has become a growing problem in the United States as more Americans pack on extra pounds. view more (2006-09-21)
Study shows marine omega-3 fatty acids have positive effect on muscle mass
A research team led by Carole Thivierge, from Université Laval's Institute of Nutraceutics and Functional Foods, shows that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have a positive effect on the metabolism of muscle proteins. view more (2007-05-10)
Old diabetes drug teaches experts new tricks
Research from the Johns Hopkins Children's Center reveals that the drug most commonly used in type 2 diabetics who don't need insulin works on a much more basic level than once thought, treating persistently elevated blood sugar - the hallmark of type 2 diabetes - by regulating the genes that control its production. view more (2009-05-15)
