Body's anticipation of a meal can be a diabetes risk factor
When we anticipate or smell a meal, the parasympathetic nervous system triggers salivation and increases insulin production in response to the expectation that glucose will be entering the blood stream. Scientists writing in Science Signaling say this response may be a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. "We think this parasympathetic response is potentially important in type 2 diabetes," said Vann Bennett, a professor in the departments of cell biology, biochemistry, at Duke. "Our study showed there is a novel mutation in the gene encoding ankyrin-B, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. This happens through an impairment of the insulin secretion that is added by the parasympathetic nervous system." read more
