insulin /'ɪnsjʊlɪn/ n. hormone secreted by the isles of Langerhans in the pancreas; regulates storage of glycogen in the liver and accelerates oxidation of sugar in cells 胰岛素 Langerhans /'læŋəhɑ:nz/ n. pancreatic island 胰岛 avatar /ˌævə'tɑ:/ n. the manife...
Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Research shows that NAD⁺ plays a role in regulating insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Animal studies suggest that NMN supplementation can improve glucose metabolism, potentially reducing the risk of metabolic disorders. Fat Met...
Fasting plasma insulin FPG: Fasting plasma glucose GGT: Gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase HDL: High density lipoprotein-cholesterol LDL: Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol L/S ratio: Liver to spleen ratio PPAR-α: Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors TC: Total cholesterol TG: Triglyceride...
This section aims to provide a platform for the interaction and mutual validation between basic and applied research in the field of nutrition. In the area of Translational Medicine, we believe that the field ought to be taken into greater account in ...
Phenome-wide association analyses of novel loci and polygenic risk scores (PRSs) augment signals related to insulin resistance, extend pleiotropic associations of these loci to include smoking and family history, and precisely document the markedly reduced transferability of existing PRSs to Black ...
If YXT and its herbal components can promote neural differentiation, the levels of neuronal markers are expected to increase in RDIN cells that are induced to differentiate for 7 days in the presence of the herbal extracts. Western blotting analyses of lineage markers were thus performed on the ...
This activation leads to heightened levels of p21 and the preservation of the DNA damage response. d Upper: Structure of EZH2 with domain WDB, WD-40 binding domain; D1, domain 1; D2, domain 2; CXC, Cys-rich domain; SET, catalytic domain of EZH2. Lower: The mechanistic role of EZH2 ...
37 Beans specifically are good sources of potassium and magnesium, which may reduce BP38,39 and by virtue of their low GI are likely to result in lower postprandial insulin levels, associated with reduced salt retention and lower BP.40,41 Acarbose, which converts dietary carbohydrates into a ...
For instance, excess insulin levels, caused by high blood glucose often found in people with excessive body fat, will lead to lower insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) levels. Increased levels of unbound insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) promote cancer formation. ...
It was subsequently demonstrated that pdx1 deletion in zebrafish results in a drop in insulin levels, a disruption of glucose homeostasis, and a reduction in beta cell numbers [141]. These days, drug screens are performed to identify small compounds that stimulate or obstruct distinct stages of ...
