Now, a study published in Cell Communication and Signaling describes new molecular mechanisms to understand insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and to outline future drug targets for DM2.

They fed five strains of mice either a normal or high-fat and high-sugar diet, and took samples of their skeletal muscle – the site of greatest insulin-triggered glucose uptake after eating.

New research reveals how exercise transforms muscles into communication hubs that release beneficial molecules throughout the ...

The skeletal muscles of men and women process glucose and fats in different ways. A study conducted by the University ...

A landmark study has shed new light on the molecular roots of insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes, by mapping protein-level changes in human skeletal muscle. The findings may pave the ...

Insulin-producing β-islet cells in the pancreas can be made aware of a lack of insulin in the blood in a mouse model of diabetes, through signals relayed by a soluble signaling molecule called T ...

Type 2 diabetes is a widespread problem for many people these days, and our risk for insulin resistance and diabetes only grows as we age. Now, a new report in the May issue of Cell Metabolism, a ...
