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.

The effects of peripheral and central high insulin on brain insulin signaling and amyloid-β in young and old APP/PS1 mice [PDF]
Hyperinsulinemia is a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). In vitro experiments describe potential connections between insulin, insulin signaling, and amyloid-β (Aβ), but in vivo experiments are needed to validate these relationships ...

Insulin infusion sets associated with adverse events: strategies for improved diabetes education
IntroductionInsulin Infusion Sets (IIS) play a crucial role in ensuring the safe delivery of insulin through a Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Recent advancements in therapy have highlighted the

Class-switched anti-insulin antibodies originate from unconventional antigen presentation in multiple lymphoid sites [PDF]
Autoantibodies to insulin are a harbinger of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes in humans and in non-obese diabetic mice. To understand the genesis of these autoantibodies, we investigated the interactions of insulin-specific T and B lymphocytes using T ...

Serum IgG2 levels are specifically associated with whole-body insulin-mediated glucose disposal in non-diabetic offspring of type 2 diabetic individuals. a cross-sectional study [PDF]
.Preclinical studies suggested that IgG2c isotype may specifically impair skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity in mice. In this study we investigated the association between serum levels of the four IgG subclasses and insulin sensitivity in non-diabetic

Insulin Resistance: From Mechanisms to Therapeutic Strategies
Insulin resistance is the pivotal pathogenic component of many metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, and is defined as a state of reduced responsiveness of insulin-targeting tissues to physiological levels of insulin.
