Type 2 Diabetes Management: Apelin Hormone Injections Powerfully Lower Blood Sugar

 :  Category: Diabetes

By injecting a hormone produced by fat and other tissues into mice, researchers report in Cell Metabolism that they significantly lowered blood sugar levels in normal and obese mice. The findings suggest that the hormone known as apelin might be a promising target for managing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance, in which normal amounts of insulin are insufficient to lower blood sugar (glucose) levels, is a precursor to diabetes.
