Selective insulin action in certain brain areas improves glucose metabolism throughout the body. This is a finding of a study by scientists from the Institute of Diabetes Research and Metabolic Diseases of Helmholtz Zentrum München at the University of Tübingen, published in the journal ‘Diabetes’.
In this study researchers administered insulin in the form of a nasal spray to healthy young men. By means of this method, insulin is taken up through the nasal passages and transported directly to the brain. Before and after the intranasal application of insulin, the glucose metabolism and the insulin action in the entire body were measured using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique.
