Resumen
La insulina envía señales al cerebro para promover la pérdida de peso, desafiando la visión tradicional de su papel en el almacenamiento de grasa y el aumento de peso. Este descubrimiento pone de relieve una nueva vía para comprender la regulación metabólica y el control del peso corporal.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Regulación del metabolismo.
- La neuroendocrinología en neuroendocrinología.
- Investigación de la obesidad.
Sus antecedentes:
- El cuerpo equilibra meticulosamente la ingesta y el gasto de energía.
- Tradicionalmente se consideraba que la insulina promovía el almacenamiento de grasa y el aumento de peso.
- Un hallazgo reciente desafía esta noción establecida.

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

01:24Liver Regeneration
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are large...

01:16Hormones Regulating Blood Glucose
Insulin is released by beta cells of the pancreas when blood glucose levels are high. It facilitates glucose absorption and utilization in insulin-dependent cells with insulin receptors on their plasma membranes. Insulin promotes glucose uptake by increasing the number of glucose transport proteins in the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter the cell. As a result, glucose utilization and ATP production are enhanced.
In addition to accelerating glucose uptake and utilization, insulin has...
