Postnatal β2 adrenergic treatment improves insulin sensitivity in lambs with IUGR but not persistent defects in pancreatic islets or skeletal muscle [PDF]
Placental insufficiency causes intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and disturbances in glucose homeostasis with associated β adrenergic receptor (ADRβ) desensitization.

Chromium uptake by Fenugreek [PDF]
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graecum) is both herb (leaves) and a spice (seed) belonging to the family Fabaceae. Fenugreek leaves and seeds are used in the cuisine of India. Fenugreek also has medicinal value.

Fibroblasts derived from long-lived insulin receptor substrate 1 null mice are not resistant to multiple forms of stress [PDF]
Reduced signalling through the insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 signalling (IIS) pathway is a highly conserved lifespan determinant in model organisms.

Diabetes reversal by inhibition of the low-molecular-weight tyrosine phosphatase. [PDF]
Obesity-associated insulin resistance plays a central role in type 2 diabetes. As such, tyrosine phosphatases that dephosphorylate the insulin receptor (IR) are potential therapeutic targets.

The impact of acute rosiglitazone on insulin pharmacokinetics at the blood‐brain barrier
Introduction CNS insulin levels are decreased and insulin receptor signalling is dampened in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Increasing CNS insulin levels through a variety of methods has been shown to improve memory.

p75 neurotrophin receptor regulates energy balance in obesity [PDF]
Obesity and metabolic syndrome reflect the dysregulation of molecular pathways that control energy homeostasis. Here, we show that the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) controls energy expenditure in obese mice on a high-fat diet (HFD).

ATP sensitizes the insulin receptor to insulin. [PDF]
Insulin receptor with high insulin binding and tyrosine kinase activities has been prepared from human placenta. Based on a molecular mass of 306 kDa for the receptor (the value obtained from the sum of the amino acid residues), this preparation is capable of binding 1.48 mol of insulin per mol of receptor.

11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 regulates glucocorticoid-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Glucocorticoid excess is characterized by increased adiposity, skeletal myopathy, and insulin resistance, but the precise molecular mechanisms are unknown.
