- The brain can help sustain lower blood sugar levels in rats with type 2 diabetes after injecting a protein called FGF1 directly into the brain.
- This effect is linked to long-lasting activity in specific brain signaling pathways (ERK1/2) that last over 24 hours.
- Using a modified version of FGF1 that only has a short-lived effect on these pathways does not produce the same beneficial impact on blood sugar, highlighting the importance of sustained signaling for diabetes remission.
