Toward the goal of elucidating endocrine system aging mechanisms, this study establishes the first single-cell aging atlas across multiple endocrine organs. The research reveals conserved aging ...
A new study suggests that one of the most common diabetes treatments may speed type 2 diabetes progression by causing insulin-producing cells to lose their functional identity. Sulphonylureas have bee ...
Pancreatic islets from adult mice. On the left, islet composed of different types of endocrine cells. Right: pancreatic islet composed solely of beta cells. Our glycaemic balance is based on the ...
Our glycemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...
Endocrine therapy is a way of treating conditions such as cancer using hormones. Also known as hormone therapy, it involves adjusting the levels of certain hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen, ...
Medically reviewed by Kelly Wood, MD Endocrine disorders happen when hormone levels are too high or too low. Fatigue and mood ...
Short-term IF boosts glucose homeostasis, but prolonged fasting in adolescence may impair β cell maturation—potentially linking chronic IF to type 1 diabetes risk. Study: Chronic intermittent fasting ...
