Naloxone, but not valsartan, preserves responses to hypoglycemia after antecedent hypoglycemia: Role of metabolic reprogramming in counterregulatory failure AbstractObjective- Hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF) constitutes one of the main clinical obstacles to optimum treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus are thought to mediate counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia. We have previously hypothesized that [...]

Anti-obesity Effect of Eicosapentaenoic Acid in High-fat/High-sucrose Diet-induced Obesity: Importance of Hepatic Lipogenesis AbstractObjective: Given the pleiotropic effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), it is interesting to know whether EPA is capable of improving obesity. Here we examined the anti-obesity effect of EPA in mice with two distinct models of obesity. Research Design and Methods: Male [...]

PISSKY: Gilpin Whisky is Recycled from Diabetic’s Urine James Gilpin has Type 1 diabetes – his pancreas doesn’t work, forcing him to take shots of insulin to process glucose from food.

New Study Singles Out Factors Linked To Cognitive Deficits In Type 2 Diabetes Older adults with diabetes who have high blood pressure, walk slowly or lose their balance, or believe they’re in bad health, are significantly more likely to have weaker memory and slower, more rigid cognitive processing than those without these problems, according to [...]

Diabetes drug fights lung cancer in mice: study A popular drug that is used by millions of diabetics around the world significantly decreases tobacco-induced lung tumors in mice, a study published Wednesday found.

Glycemia determines the effect of type 2 diabetes risk genes on insulin secretion AbstractObjective: Several polymorphisms in diabetes risk genes reduce glucose and/or incretin-induced insulin secretion. Here, we investigated interactions between glycemia and such diabetes risk polymorphisms. Research Design and Methods: Insulin secretion was assessed by insulinogenic index and AUCC-pep/AUCGlc in 1576 subjects using OGTT. [...]

Conditional gene targeting in mouse pancreatic {beta}-cells: Analysis of ectopic Cre transgene expression in the brain AbstractObjective- Conditional gene targeting has been extensively used for in vivo analysis of gene function in β-cell biology. The objective of this study was to examine whether mouse transgenic Cre lines used to mediate β-cell- or pancreas-specific recombination also [...]

Adiponectin Prevents Diabetic Premature Senescence of Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Promotes Endothelial Repair by Suppressing the p38 MAP kinase/p16INK4A Signaling Pathway AbstractObjective: A reduced number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is casually associated with the cardiovascular complication of diabetes. Adiponectin exerts multiple protective effects against cardiovascular disease, independent of its insulin-sensitizing activity. The objective [...]
