Insulin Sensitivity

Information about Insulin Sensitivity: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Insulin Sensitivity

Most recent studies have shown that Insulin Sensitivity shares some biological mechanisms with atherosclerosis, cardiovascular-diseases, diabetes-mellitus, diabetes-mellitus-insulin-dependent, diabetes-mellitus-non-insulin-dependent, dyslipidemias, fatty-liver, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinism, hyperlipidemia, hypertensive-disease, impaired-glucose-tolerance, inflammation, insulin-resistance, metabolic-diseases, metabolic-syndrome-x, obesity, polycystic-ovary-syndrome.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Insulin Sensitivity, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Cell Proliferation, Energy Homeostasis, Excretion, Fatty Acid Oxidation, Fibrinolysis, Gluconeogenesis, Glucose Homeostasis, Glucose Transport, Glycolysis, Inflammatory Response, Insulin Secretion, Lactation, Lipid Homeostasis, Lipid Oxidation, Pathogenesis, Secretion, Sensitization, Transport, Vasodilation

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Insulin Sensitivity, such as ADIPOQ, AKT1, CRP, GCG, GGH, GH1, IGF1, IL6, INS, INSR, IRS1, LEP, PPARA, PPARG, RETN, SHBG, SLC2A4, TG, TNF. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
