The hormone insulin plays a central role in the metabolism of many living organisms. When food is plentiful, insulin promotes ...

For experiments investigating post-transcriptional regulation, I use the Drosophila insulin-like receptor pathway and the cellular response to insulin. Transcriptional control of gene expression The ...

JMU scientists studied insulin-producing cells in fruit flies, finding that secretion is influenced by gut hormones, ...

“We know that there are a lot of peptides and hormones in the gut that are released and their primary role is to affect physiology and behavior,” said Meet Zandawala, a Drosophila neuroendocrinologist ...

How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers at the University of Würzburg have investigated this question.

Insulin and its signaling systems are implicated ... In response to these afferent inputs, neuronal pathways are activated that influence energy flux and nutrient metabolism in the body and ...

released by regenerating limbs and hepatic insulin signaling pathways are key to help adapting lipid metabolism to meet the needs of cell proliferation. "Interestingly, injured Drosophila increase ...

and the previous discussion highlighting cross talk between leptin and insulin signaling pathways emphasizes the feasibility of this possibility.
