  • Molecular Basis of Blood Glucose Regulation Asma Ahmed and Noman Khalique
    Chapter Molecular Basis of Blood Glucose Regulation Asma Ahmed and Noman Khalique Abstract Blood glucose level is regulated by multiple pancreatic hormones, which regulate it by different pathways in normal and abnormal conditions by expressing or suppressing multiple genes or molecular or cellular targets. Multiple synthetic drugs and therapies are used to cure glucose regulatory problems, while many of them are used to cure other health issues, which arise due to disturbance in blood glucose regulations. Many new approaches are used for the development of phytochemical- based drugs to cure blood glucose regulation problems, and many of the compounds have been isolated and identified to cure insulin resistance or regulate beta cell function or glucose absorption in the guts or GLP-1 homoeostasis or two/more pathways (e.g., either cure hyperglycemia or raise insulin resistance or cure pan- creatic beta cell regeneration or augmentation of GLP-1, production of islet cell, production and increased insulin receptor signaling and insulin secretion or decreased insulin tolerance or gluconeogenesis and insulin-mimetic action or pro- duction of α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitor or conserve islet mass or activate protein kinase A (PKA) and extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERK) or activate AMPK and reduce insulin sensitivity or suppress α-glucosidase activity and activate AMPK and downstream molecules or prevents cell death of pancreatic β-cell and activates SIRT1 or lower blood glucose due to their insulin-like chemical structures or decrease lipid peroxidation.

Moreover, the controlled delivery of complementary hormones (such as amylin or glucagon) is complicated by instability of the pharmacologic agents and complexity of maintaining multiple infusions.

  • The Leading Source of Diabetes Business News It's Complicated
    The Leading Source of Diabetes Business News It’s Complicated January/February 2011 • No. 105 The diabetes business used to be fairly straightforward. It’s a lot more complicated now, but that’s not a bad thing. Take insulin. After it was commercialized in the early 1920s, the goal was clear: sell more insulin. But look at today’s three major insulin makers: Eli Lilly, sanofi-aventis, and Novo Nordisk. For all three, to be sure, insulin is still preeminent. The diabetes divisions of Novo Nordisk and Lilly draw most of their revenue from human insulin and rapid-acting analogs, while sanofi-aventis’ blockbuster basal analog Lantus, as well as its mealtime insulins, continue to drive the bottom line. But all three companies have also developed (or are developing) GLP-1 analogs, Lilly has invested in oral drugs for type 2 diabetes (most recently through a major partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim), and the companies are also developing new therapeutic approaches for different stages of disease progression. The evolution of the insulin makers reflects broader industry trends. As our understanding of diabetes has expanded – and we dig deeper into the molecular complexities of the disease – it’s clear that single- focus large companies can no longer prosper. Ours is an era of individualized treatment that mixes and matches different drugs and technologies that try to meet the unique needs of every person with diabetes. Toward that end, companies are forming partnerships to find complementary therapies and development efforts that will create

  • The Prospect of Inhaled Insulin Therapy Via Vibrating Mesh Technology to Treat Diabetes
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review A Review: The Prospect of Inhaled Insulin Therapy via Vibrating Mesh Technology to Treat Diabetes Seán M. Cunningham and David A. Tanner * School of Engineering, Bernal Institute, University of Limerick, Limerick V94 T9PX, Ireland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +35-3612-141-30 Received: 18 June 2020; Accepted: 31 July 2020; Published: 10 August 2020 Abstract: Background: Inhaled insulin has proven to be viable and, in some aspects, a more effective alternative to subcutaneous insulin. Past and present insulin inhaler devices have not found clinical or commercial success. Insulin inhalers create a dry powder or soft mist insulin aerosol, which does not provide the required uniform particle size or aerosol volume for deep lung deposition. Methods: The primary focus of this review is to investigate the potential treatment of diabetes with a wet insulin aerosol. Vibrating mesh nebulisers allow the passive inhalation of a fine wet mist aerosol for the administration of drugs to the pulmonary system in higher volumes than other small-volume nebulisers. Results: At present, there is a significant focus on vibrating mesh nebulisers from the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries for the systemic administration of pharmaceuticals for non-traditional applications such as vaccines or the treatment of diabetes. Systemic drug administration using vibrating mesh nebulisers leads to faster-acting pharmaceuticals with a reduction in drug latency. Conclusions: Systemic conditions such as diabetes, require the innovative development of custom vibrating mesh devices to provide the desired flow rates and droplet size for effective inhaled insulin administration.

Insulin is an important part of therapy in diabetic patients. Insulins have to be injected which is inconvenient and cause many complications. Newer forms of insulin which are delivered through routes other than injections are developed by pharmaceutical companies. The efficacy, bioavailability, side effects of these are studied in various clinical trials and gained approval. This review focuses on the advancements in insulin therapy that helps to overcome the troubles caused by invasive insulin administration. Keywords: Diabetes, insulin, therapy.

The World Health Organization recognizes three main forms of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (occurring during pregnancy) (1), which have similar signs, symptoms, and consequences, but different causes and population distributions. Type 1 is usually due to autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta cells which produce insulin. Type 2 is characterized by tissue-wide insulin resistance and varies widely; it sometimes progresses to loss of beta cell function. Gestational diabetes is similar to type 2 diabetes, in that it involves insulin resistance; the hormones of pregnancy cause insulin resistance in those women genetically predisposed to developing this condition. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is showing is showing a rapid progression world wide. Type 2 diabetes currently affecting 5 % to 10 % of most population, has become the most frequently encountered metabolic disorder in the world. The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes will rise from 171 million in the year 2000 to 366 millions by the year 2030 and these figures are higher the earlier estimates (2).
