The molecular mechanisms, diagnosis and management of congenital hyperinsulinism

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the result of unregulated insulin secretion from the pancreatic β-cells leading to severe hypoglycaemia. In these patients it is important to make an accurate diagnosis and initiate the appropriate management so as to ...

Opening closed inward rectifier potassium channel doors

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2197-2218, May 2026.
Inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels are essential regulators of membrane potential in excitable and non‐excitable tissues. Although KIR channels exhibit a biophysical preference for potassium influx due to voltage‐dependent block of outward current by polyamines and Mg2+, under physiological conditions, they predominantly mediate K+ efflux ...

Transjugular Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in an Adolescent With Central Hypoventilation Syndrome: A Case Report

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 606-609, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacing in pediatric patients is complicated by small body size, vascular access limitations, and the need for durable long‐term management. Leadless pacemakers offer an emerging alternative that minimizes infection and lead‐related complications, yet vascular access remains a key challenge in young patients.

Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment in a Cohort of Children and Adolescents Diagnosed with Hyperinsulinemia

Diseases
Background: Individuals with hyperinsulinemia may initially not meet any diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, though displaying a higher risk of cardiovascular complications combined with obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.

Contrasting Effects of Chronic Glucokinase Activation and Inhibition on Pancreatic Beta‐Cell Function

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
In the non‐diabetic beta‐cell (top left) activation of glucokinase (bottom left) leads to inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism and thereby impairs insulin secretion. The effect is similar to that of chronic hyperglycaemia as seen in the diabetic beta‐cell (top right).

From the cytosol to the inner membrane: biogenesis of the mitochondrial carrier family

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mitochondrial carrier proteins are essential for cellular physiology as they are active in a wide range of metabolic pathways including production of cellular energy, amino acid synthesis, redox balance and ion homeostasis. The double membrane of mitochondria provides a tightly gated environment through which carrier proteins facilitate the ...

Prognostic value of triglyceride‐derived metabolic parameters for micro‐ and macrovascular complications and mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes: The Rio de Janeiro type 2 diabetes cohort study

Diabetic Medicine, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2026.
Prognostic value of triglyceride‐derived metabolic parameters for micro‐ and macrovascular complications and mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Abstract Aims Triglyceride‐derived metabolic parameters have been proposed as indirect measures of insulin resistance and also as predictors of worse prognosis, mainly in Asian populations. However,

Hypoglycemia in CDG patients due to PMM2 mutations: Follow up on hyperinsulinemic patients

JIMD Reports, 2020
Background Phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2‐CDG) is the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG). Hypoglycemia has been reported in various CDG including PMM2‐CDG.
