The Melanocortin-4 Receptor Integrates Circadian Light Cues and Metabolism [PDF]
, 2015 The melanocortin system directs diverse physiological functions from coat color to body weight homoeostasis. A commonality among melanocortin-mediated processes is that many animals modulate similar processes on a circannual basis in response to longer ...

Pancreatic regulation of glucose homeostasis [PDF]
Experimental & Molecular Medicine, 2016 In order to ensure normal body function, the human body is dependent on a tight control of its blood glucose levels. This is accomplished by a highly sophisticated network of various hormones and neuropeptides released mainly from the brain, pancreas, liver, intestine as well as adipose and muscle tissue.

GLUT2, glucose sensing and glucose homeostasis [PDF]
Diabetologia, 2014 The glucose transporter isoform GLUT2 is expressed in liver, intestine, kidney and pancreatic islet beta cells, as well as in the central nervous system, in neurons, astrocytes and tanycytes. Physiological studies of genetically modified mice have revealed a role for GLUT2 in several regulatory mechanisms.

Expression and function of ATP-dependent potassium channels in zebrafish islet β-cells [PDF]
, 2017 ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP) channels) are critical nutrient sensors in many mammalian tissues. In the pancreas, K(ATP) channels are essential for coupling glucose metabolism to insulin secretion.

Regulation of Glucose Homeostasis by Glucocorticoids [PDF]
, 2015 Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that regulate multiple aspects of glucose homeostasis. Glucocorticoids promote gluconeogenesis in liver, whereas in skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue they decrease glucose uptake and utilization by antagonizing insulin response.
