Defects in insulin function -- which occur in diabetes and obesity -- could directly contribute to psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Researchers have discovered a molecular link between impaired insulin signaling in the brain and schizophrenia-like behaviors in mice. The findings offer a new perspective on the psychiatric and cognitive disorders that affect patients with diabetes and ...

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The "gold standard" diabetes test, Hemoglobin A1c (A1C), explains much less about the risk of cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetes than originally thought, according to an article in the June 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

When the body does not properly manage insulin levels, diabetes and other metabolic disorders are familiar outcomes. That hormonal imbalance, however, has also been linked to a higher risk for psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia . And a new study has uncovered a potential pathway by which this metabolic hormone can upset the balance of a key neurotransmitter. [More]

Defects in insulin action -- which occur in diabetes and obesity -- could directly contribute to psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Vanderbilt University Medical Center investigators Aurelio Galli, Kevin Niswender and colleagues have discovered a molecular link between impaired insulin signaling in the brain and schizophrenia-like behaviors in mice.

Malfunctions in how the body processes sugar that occur in diabetes and obesity could also explain mood and other mental disorders such as schizophrenia, researchers now reveal.

The growing use of insulin delivery devices such as pens and pumps may help individuals with diabetes optimize blood glucose control and minimize their risk for chronic health problems associated with diabetes.

Correlation does not prove causality however and more research is clearly needed to explore the potential benefits of a vitamin K-rich diet in reducing the risk of type-2 diabetes, a disease that affects almost 24 million Americans, equal to 8 percent of the population.

TransTech Pharma Inc. and Forest Laboratories Inc. said Tuesday they entered a license agreement potentially worth more than $1.1 billion for the development of diabetes drugs.
