Challenging Long-Held Beliefs: Researchers Flip the Script on How Obesity Causes Diabetes

Stress hormones, not impaired insulin signaling, may underlie obesity-related diabetes, according to Rutgers research. Elevated stress hormones counteract insulin’s effects, even with intact signaling. This insight could lead to treatments targeting stress hormones rather than insulin. A study conducted by Rutgers Health, in collaboration with other institutions, suggests that stress hormones, rather than impaired cellular […]
