Overview

Jean-Claude Henquin is affiliated with Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with significant contributions to biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these fields, their work has specialized notably in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, alongside studies related to surgery, genetics, molecular biology, and nutrition and dietetics.

The main topics addressed in Henquin's research encompass pancreatic function and diabetes, diabetes management and research, diabetes and associated disorders, diet, metabolism and disease, metabolism related to diabetes and cancer, diabetes treatment and management, and receptor mechanisms and signaling.

Henquin has published research in various scientific journals, including:

  • American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism
  • Molecular Metabolism
  • Metabolism
  • Diabetologia

Recent papers by Henquin include:

  • "Paracrine and autocrine control of insulin secretion in human islets: evidence and pending questions," 2020, American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism
  • "Glucose-induced insulin secretion in isolated human islets: Does it truly reflect β-cell function in vivo?", 2021, Molecular Metabolism
  • "Non-glucose modulators of insulin secretion in healthy humans: (dis)similarities between islet and in vivo studies," 2021, Metabolism
  • "Quinine: rediscovery of an old glucose-lowering drug," 2025, Diabetologia

Henquin was recognized as a Member of Academia Europaea in the year 2000.
