Before the discovery of insulin (胰岛素),diabetes was a death sentence.(1)___ But why do some people need insulin and how does it work? Diabetes has been recognized as a disease since ancient times,and as early as 1775 physician Matthew Dobson detected the presence of sugar in the urine...
When your cells don’t respond adequately to insulin’s signal, too much glucose remains in your bloodstream. “Over time, this can lead to elevated blood sugar levels and eventually to type 2 diabetes,” Dr. Alatassi adds. Diabetes Link How Insulin Resistance Leads to Diabetes As insulin ...
We examined the effect of differences in autonomous-nerve control parameter settings on changes in blood volume and hemodynamic parameters and determined the influence of the model on operation of the control arterial line flow and blood volume during the initiation and weaning from cardiopulmonary ...
Charles H. Best was a physiologist who, with Sir Frederick Banting, was one of the first to obtain (1921) a pancreatic extract of insulin in a form that controlled diabetes in dogs. The successful use of insulin in treating human patients followed. But b
To reduce 400 mg/dL blood sugar to about 100 mg/dL, you would need at least 10 units of insulin. However, this depends on your weight and other factors In a healthy individual, one unit ofinsulinshould cause their blood sugarlevel to drop 30-50 mg/dL, However, the number of units ...
The two new drugs work by targeting a protein receptor known as PPARgamma found in fat tissue throughout the body to lower blood sugar by increasing sensitivity to insulin and changing the metabolism of fat and sugar. The first study, undertaken in partnership with The Scripps Research Institute...

Insulin binds the insulin receptor (IR) and regulates anabolic processes in target tissues. Impaired IR signalling is associated with multiple diseases, including diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. IRs have been reported to form nanocluste
The concept of intelligent/smart insulins is straightforward, and it can be summed up as “from complexity to simplicity.” In essence, it is a question of creating an insulin capable of self-regulating according to changes in blood sugar, so-called “glucose responsive insulin” (GRI), elimi...
When we take a meal, the blood glucose level rises in circulation; pancreatic β-cells sense and release insulin depending on the glucose level. Insulin binds to the cell receptors primarily on skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and liver [12]. Insulin allows glucose to enter the cells for ...
