  2. Diabetes in dogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_in_dogs

    Illustration of a dog's pancreas. Cell-islet in the illustration refers to a pancreatic cell in the Islets of Langerhans, which contain insulin-producing beta cells and other endocrine related cells. Permanent damage to these beta cells results in Type 1, or insulin-dependent diabetes, for which exogenous insulin replacement therapy is the only ...

  3. Obesity in pets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_pets

    Evidence suggests that middle-aged cats and dogs, especially those between the ages of 5 and 10, may be at an increased risk of obesity. [11] This is supported by studies showing that as cats age from 2 years to approximately 11.5 years of age their energy requirements decrease. [12]

  4. Insulin signal transduction pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_signal...

    The insulin transduction pathway is a biochemical pathway by which insulin increases the uptake of glucose into fat and muscle cells and reduces the synthesis of glucose in the liver and hence is involved in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This pathway is also influenced by fed versus fasting states, stress levels, and a variety of other ...

  5. Glucose tolerance test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test

    The glucose tolerance test was first described in 1923 by Jerome W. Conn. [4]The test was based on the previous work in 1913 by A. T. B. Jacobson in determining that carbohydrate ingestion results in blood glucose fluctuations, [5] and the premise (named the Staub-Traugott Phenomenon after its first observers H. Staub in 1921 and K. Traugott in 1922) that a normal patient fed glucose will ...

  6. Diabetes alert dog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_alert_dog

    The first dog trained to detect hypoglycemia was a Californian dog called Armstrong in 2003. [5] In 2009, a dog named Tinker from Durham City became the first self-taught British assistance dog to be officially registered for a type 2 diabetic owner. He was able to give his owner Paul Jackson up to half an hour warning before an attack occurred ...

  7. Leonard Thompson (diabetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Thompson_(diabetic)

    Thompson showed signs of improved health and went on to live 13 more years taking doses of insulin, before dying of pneumonia at age 26. [3] [4] Until insulin was made clinically available, a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes was a death sentence, more or less quickly (usually within months, and frequently within weeks or days). [5] [6]

  8. Randle cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randle_cycle

    The Randle cycle, also known as the glucose fatty-acid cycle, is a metabolic process involving the cross inhibition of glucose and fatty acids for substrates. [1] It is theorized to play a role in explaining type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. [2] [3] It was named for Philip Randle, who described it in 1963. [4]

  9. Beta cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_cell

    Increased insulin secretion leads to hyperinsulinemia, but blood glucose levels remain within their normal range due to the decreased efficacy of insulin signaling. [4] However, the beta cells can become overworked and exhausted from being overstimulated, leading to a 50% reduction in function along with a 40% decrease in beta-cell volume. [ 9 ]
