(Gregory Urquiaga/UC Davis) Metals such as zinc, copper and chromium bind to and influence a peptide involved in insulin production, according to new work from chemists at the University of California ...

However, insulin emerges as a potential hero, showing capabilities to hinder amylin's aggregation. This study unravels the nuances of their interaction, alongside the roles of zinc and pH levels ...

To provide a slow-release form of insulin, the analog self-assembles under the skin by means of "stapling" itself via bridging zinc ions. For millions of Americans with Type-2 diabetes and inject ...

New research shows how zinc, pH levels and insulin work together to inhibit the buildup of protein clumps that contribute to Type 2 diabetes. An estimated 462 million people around the world ...

A recent innovative study discovered that zinc, pH levels and insulin work together to prevent protein clumps and stop them from contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes. The chronic disease ...

A team of Stanford University scientists is now searching for a solution in a common nutrient: zinc. As it turns out, insulin-producing beta cells have a particularly strong taste for zinc.

and uses a zinc-chelating agent to deliver a ß-cell-regenerating drug directly to the insulin-producing islet cells. Blood glucose levels are normally kept within strict limits by two hormones ...
