Research progress on the relationship between Nesfatin-1 and glucose metabolism.

Abstract

Nesfatin-1 is a neuropeptide hormone known for its biological functions, including inhibiting food intake, regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, promoting apoptosis, and providing anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. Glucose metabolism is a crucial pathway for the body's energy supply. Current research has demonstrated that Nesfatin-1 can affect glucose metabolism through various mechanisms, such as inhibiting food intake, regulating enzyme activity, and improving insulin resistance, though the findings are not entirely consistent. Investigating the relationship between Nesfatin-1 and glucose metabolism may offer new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to glucose metabolism disorders.
