A recent study carried out by the Pennington Biomedical Research Center (United States) has identified a new connection between exercise and better management of type 2 diabetes. The study, published in the journal ‘Diabetes’, has identified GDF15 as a protein produced by muscle contraction that acts as a cellular signal to increase insulin secretion, a limiting component of disease progression. Pennington Biomedical CEO John Kirwan led the study with colleagues from the Laboratory of Integrated Physiology and Molecular Medicine. Researchers have been able to observe that high-intensity exercise training in patients with type 2 diabetes had elevated levels of circulating GDF15 in the body, which was associated with improved glycemic control. “My team and I, as well as the key partners who collaborated with us, are honored to have our work and research appear on the cover of Diabetes journal,” Kirwan said. ‘This research supports the idea that exercise may be an important key to stimulating the creation of insulin, thereby avoiding some of the most detrimental effects of diabetes. Pennington Biomedical’s diverse laboratories, equipment and talented staff make discoveries like this commonplace’, added the expert. In addition, ‘Diabetes’ is the flagship journal of the American Diabetes Association and publishes original research on the physiology and pathophysiology of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The publication emphasizes research reports that focus on areas such as the development of diabetes and its complications, the function of the pancreatic islets, the mechanisms of action of drugs and hormones, etc.
