Introduction Circulating adrenal-derived cortisol, which generated intracellularly from cortisone in various tissues, contributes to maintain blood glucose homeostasis. Only the active 11-hydroxy derivatives (cortisol and corticosterone), and

Introduction Glucose is a primary stimulator of insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells and modulates the effects of incretins and acetylcholine ( Ashcroft & Rorsman 1989 , Rasmussen et al . 1990 , Rorsman 1997 , Newsholme et al . 2014 ). We

glucose metabolism, the effects of supraphysiological doses (SDs) of anabolic–androgenic steroids on glucose metabolism are scarce. It is well-known that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, who have hyperandrogenism, might present hyperinsulinemia with

arise from nutrient sensing and absorption in the intestine. In fact, in support of this view, recent studies have shown that nutrients (i.e., fatty acids and glucose) and hormones (i.e., insulin and oxytocin) regulate ghrelin secretion in fluorescence

function of the microbiota, which relay signals that impact host metabolism and metabolic disease like obesity. Uncovering the complex relationship between diet, gut bacteria, and host metabolism may reveal aspects of how obesity worsens blood glucose

proximate signal that decides whether an animal enters torpor on a particular day remains unknown. In the following, we summarize the current state of knowledge about two potential regulatory factors, namely thyroid hormones and glucose, in photoperiodic
