Iron interferes with insulin inhibition of glucose production by the liver. Hepatic extraction and metabolism of insulin is reduced with increasing iron stores, leading to peripheral hyperinsulinemia.

Iron helps transport oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body, supports connective tissue health, and promotes muscle ...

The role of iron Scherer’s group is seeking to address the question of where adipocytes, or fat cells, fit into metabolism — principally by using mouse models. This is made difficult by ...

The field of molecular mechanisms of micronutrients and metabolic waste is gaining significant traction in contemporary research. Micronutrients such as ...

For example, in plants, specific metabolic pathways can produce glucose and chlorophyll. Metabolic pathways can be described as a series of chemical reactions that start with a substrate and ...

Through a number of systematic approaches, this research aims to examine the influence of maternal adiposity on iron metabolism during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. This PhD is fully funded ...

Emerging scientific evidence has disclosed unsuspected influences between iron metabolism and type 2 diabetes. The relationship is bi-directional iron affects glucose metabolism, and glucose ...
