A yin-yang balancing act on blood vessels

Published 23 September 2015 The incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP act like the yin and yang on the body´s blood vessels. While GLP-1 has been associated with protective effects according to new research GIP can contribute to an increased risk of stroke. The findings are published in the scientific journal Diabetes. The incretin hormones GIP and GLP-1 are released from the intestine after eating to s

Mapping the mechanisms behind type 2 diabetes

Published 2 October 2018 The islets of Langerhans in the pancreas contain not only insulin-producing cells, but also four other hormone-producing cell types. Using a new method, researchers are to study their interaction by mapping previously unknown genetic networks. “It will give us new possibilities to direct medicines at new targets”, says associate professor Nils Wierup who will present the f

New study of babies in Skåne to prevent type 1 diabetes

Published 8 October 2018 Can insulin absorbed in small doses through food in early childhood get the immune system accustomed to insulin and thereby delay – or prevent – type 1 diabetes? Researchers hope to find the answer through POInT, a study starting in Skåne this autumn. Newborn babies in Skåne with a high risk of autoimmune diabetes (type 1 diabetes) can take part in the study. The infants f

New discovery restores insulin cell function in type 2 diabetes

Published 8 October 2018 By blocking a protein, VDAC1, in the insulin-producing beta cells, it is possible to restore their normal function in case of type 2 diabetes. In preclinical experiments, the researchers behind a new study have also shown that it is possible to prevent the development of the disease. The findings are published in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism. The researchers at L
