Use of the SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin for control of refractory equine hyperinsulinemia and laminitis [PDF]
Background: Hyperinsulinemia associated with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) and/or equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is well documented to put horses at high risk of laminitis.

Molecular and Cellular Bases of Lipodystrophy Syndromes
Lipodystrophy syndromes are rare diseases originating from a generalized or partial loss of adipose tissue. Adipose tissue dysfunction results from heterogeneous genetic or acquired causes, but leads to similar metabolic complications with insulin ...

Hypertriglyceridemia in equines with refractory hyperinsulinemia treated with SGLT2 inhibitors
Background: Sodium-Glucose CoTransporter-2 [SGLT2] inhibitors, the -flozin group of drugs, which block glucose reuptake in the renal proximal tubule, are being increasingly used off-label to treat horses with refractory hyperinsulinemia. After two years

Heterozygous loss-of-function variants of the glucokinase (GCK) gene are responsible for a subtype of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). GCK-MODY is characterized by a mild hyperglycemia, mainly due to a higher blood glucose threshold for ...

Enhanced insulin sensitivity associated with provision of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids in skeletal muscle cells involves counter modulation of PP2A [PDF]
International audienceAims/Hypothesis: Reduced skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity is a feature associated with sustained exposure to excess saturated fatty acids (SFA), whereas mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids (MUFA and PUFA) not only improve ...

New Insulins, Biosimilars, and Insulin Therapy [PDF]
Exogenous insulin has greatly changed the outlook for patients with diabetes ever since its discovery and isolation. Yet, serious complications can result as patients experience both hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic states, even when they strictly follow an insulin regimen. Several chemically or genetically modified insulins have been developed that tune

Insulin-Like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) Is More Potent Than IGF-I in Stimulating Cortisol Secretion from Cultured Bovine Adrenocortical Cells: Interaction with the IGF-I Receptor and IGF-Binding Proteins [PDF]
Although the stimulating effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on adrenal steroidogenesis has been well established, the role of IGF-II in the adult adrenal gland remains unknown.

The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, primarily in skeletal muscle, fat and liver, and a relative failure of the pancreatic b-cell (1, 2). Considerable controversy surrounds the issue of which of these deficiencies is the primary cause of diabetes.
