Successful medical management of insulinoma with diazoxide for 27 years [PDF]
Despite improvements in localisation techniques and surgical advances, some patients with insulinoma will not be cured by surgery or may not be suitable for surgery. Medical management with diazoxide is an option for such cases.

Clinical Report and Genetic Analysis of a Patient With Congenital Hyperinsulinism Hyperammonemia Caused by a Novel Missense Mutation in the Structural Domain of the Isoform of the GLUD1 Gene. [PDF]
This patient was admitted to the hospital 43 h after birth with convulsions and hypoglycemia, presenting as recurrent refractory hypoglycemia that was difficult to control with conventional medication. Whole exome sequencing detected the GLUD1 (NM_005271.3:c.1495G>T, p.Gly499Cys) variant, which was a de novo variant in the patient and was not detected ...

Thirst and blood pressure regulation in a novel angiotensin II receptor type 1a knockout rat. [PDF]
Regulation of arterial blood pressure (ABP) is largely preserved in angiotensin II receptor 1a knock‐out (Agtr1a−/−) rats. However, deletion of Agtr1a attenuates thirst in response to AngII and hypotension but not intracellular dehydration. Abstract Angiotensin II (AngII) plays a pivotal role in body fluid balance through AngII type 1 receptors (Agtr1)

Genomic Evidence on Antihypertensive Drug Targets and Oral Disease Outcomes. [PDF]
Key Findings Drug‐target Mendelian randomization showed little evidence that genetically proxied on‐target pharmacological actions of most antihypertensive drug classes were associated with chronic periodontitis or dental caries. The diazoxide–periodontitis association requires cautious interpretation, given possible residual pleiotropy at KCNJ11 and ...

Evaluation of spasmolytic effects of naringenin on ileum contraction and intestinal charcoal meal transit: Involvement of ATP-sensitive K+ channels [PDF]
Introduction: Naringenin is a flavonoid constituent of many herbal plants, including citreous fruits. Biological studies have suggested various therapeutic effects for naringenin, including protective effects on gastrointestinal (GI) motility.
