How does the metabolism of drugs play a vital role in leading to the development of a drug? How does the brain control homeostasis? How do organ systems maintain homeostasis? What are the body's endocrine and metabolic functions? How do insulin and glucagon work antagonistically to regulate met...
Ageing is “the decline of functional properties at the cellular, tissue, and organ level” [2]. On the other hand, ageing is a complex process that has to be regarded as a whole. To better understand the causes of ageing in humans, biological theories of ageing were previously hypothesized...
the detection limits of the biosensor for insulin, glucagon and somatostatin are 1 nM, 4 nM, and 246 nM under a multiplex mode and the total analysis time is within 21 min. This biosensor device provides the promise to monitor the paracrine effect of somatostatin on GSIS and to di...
This biosensor has excellent antifouling perfor- mance and specificity, showing an ignorable response to bovine serum albumin (1 mg m L− 1) and a very low response to lysozyme. In addition, the detection limits of the biosensor for insulin, glucagon and somatostatin are 1 nM,...
(TZDs; pioglitazone) and glucagon-like peptide–1 (GLP-1) agonists (liraglutide), statins and ibuprofen were all also found to increase ACE2 expression [73,71,72,76]. This explains why concerns were initially raised regarding the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as...
Does sugar make you fat? Is too much natural sugar bad? Side effects Sugar and inflammation Sugar and the common cold Insight into fructose A common theme in my work Artificial sweeteners Conclusion Now I really get to stand on my soapbox. Because I have been hands down and fundamentally aga...
Increased glucagon levels, which breaks down fat Increased growth hormone levels, which preserves muscle mass and thus a healthy metabolic rate which in turn burns more fat Increased activation of hormone sensitive lipase Let’s take things up one level from the technical sciency stuff. Basically,...
This finding should not be construed to indicate that protein feeding does not influence the serum ammonia level of patients with cirrhosis, which clearly rises substantially and rapidly with ingestion of a protein containing meal. This ammonia rise returns to baseline within three hours, hence, the...
She also holds a B.S. in molecular biology and an M.S. in biology from the University of California, San Diego. Her work has appeared in Scienceline, The Washington Post and Scientific American. More about anatomy How many more calories does muscle burn than fat? Scientists discover new ...
Semaglutide, originally developed to control T2D but has since gained popularity as a weight-loss drug, acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist to improve insulin secretion, reduce glucagon levels, slow gastric emptying, and decrease appetite. The renoprotective effects are likely due to improved glycemic...
