INTRODUCTION: The mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are a novel group of natural occurring peptides that have important signaling functions and biological activity. Both humanin and small-humanin-like peptide 2 (SHLP2) have been reported to act as insulin sensitizers and modu...

The gut microbiome is a key factor regulating energy-metabolism, glucose tolerance and the immune system. Akkermansia muciniphila has been identified as being beneficial gut bacterium for metabolic diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the molecular mechanisms involved in h...

C-peptide exerts beneficial effects on glomerular hyperfiltration in type I diabetic patients. As C-peptide localizes to the nucleus, we investigated the transcriptional activities of C-peptide in proximal tubular cells isolated from diabetic rats. Two groups of proximal tubular cells isolated from ...

Insulin and IGF signaling (IIS) is a complex system that controls diverse processes including growth, development, metabolism, stress responses and aging. Drosophila melanogaster IIS is propagated by eight Drosophila insulin-like peptides (DILPs), homologues of both mammalian insulin and IGFs, with ...

A singular cockroach insulin-like peptide specific for a male reproductive gland
Pancreatic β-cells have the key homeostatic function of releasing insulin to keep blood glucose in the normal range. It is not fully understood how β-cell mass is determined. Ablation of a nuclear receptor, chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor II (COUP-TFII), in mouse pancreat...

Background Insulin signaling pathway is conserved from worms to humans. In Drosophila, three insulin-like peptides (dilps) are expressed in the insulin producing cells (IPCs) in the brain. In order to identify target genes of insulin signaling, the IPCs of female flies were destroyed during develop...
