Adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel Kir subunits implicated in cardioprotection by diazoxide [PDF]
BACKGROUND: ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel openers provide cardioprotection in multiple models. Ion flux at an unidentified mitochondrial K(ATP) channel has been proposed as the mechanism.

Protection Against Cardiac Injury by Small Ca\u3csup\u3e2 +\u3c/sup\u3e-Sensitive K\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e Channels Identified in Guinea Pig Cardiac Inner Mitochondrial Membrane [PDF]
We tested if small conductance, Ca2 +‐sensitive K+ channels (SKCa) precondition hearts against ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury by improving mitochondrial (m) bioenergetics, if O2‐derived free radicals are required to initiate protection via SKCa ...

Hyperglycemia modulates extracellular amyloid-β concentrations and neuronal activity in vivo [PDF]
Epidemiological studies show that patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and individuals with a diabetes-independent elevation in blood glucose have an increased risk for developing dementia, specifically dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Pediatric Neuroendocrine Tumors in Denmark: Incidence, Management, and Outcome From 1995 to 2020
ABSTRACT Background Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), although rare, are considered one of the most common gastrointestinal and bronchopulmonary pediatric neoplasms. We aimed to determine the incidence, tumor characteristics, management, and outcome of NETs and explore the role of genetic predisposition, focusing on low and intermediate grade tumors ...

tPA‐GFP is a reliable probe for detecting compound exocytosis in human pancreatic β‐cells
Tissue plasminogen activator tagged to GFP (tPA‐GFP) specifically enables the labelling of insulin granules, a type of large dense‐core vesicle of the pancreatic β cells. When compared to other markers widely used to understand the behavior of insulin granules, tPA enabled the detection of the most number of simple (blue arrow) and compound exocytotic (

Prompt Resolution of Hypoglycemia by Hepatic Transarterial Embolization for Malignant Insulinoma with Multiple Liver Metastases [PDF]
A 45-year-old female who presented with loss of consciousness and a cold sweat was found to have a pancreatic tumor and multiple liver metastases. Laboratory studies showed marked hypoglycemia and inappropriately elevated serum insulin, C-peptide, and ...
