Increased risk for T cell autoreactivity to ß-cell antigens in the mice expressing the Avy obesity-associated gene. [PDF]
, 2019 There has been considerable debate as to whether obesity can act as an accelerator of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We assessed this possibility using transgenic mice (MIP-TF mice) whose ß-cells express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Infecting these

2-Ketoisocaproate transport in insulin-secreting cells
Bioscience Reports, 1992 The transport of the nutrient secretagogue 2-ketoisocaproate (KIC) was studied in isolated rat pancreatic islets and in the HIT-T15 insulinoma cell line using an oil-filtration technique. In both islets and HIT-T15 cells, KIC uptake was a slow process, not reaching equilibrium within 10 min KIC transport was not dependent upon Na+ in the medium, was ...

Human islets contain four distinct subtypes of β cells
Nature Communications, 2016 Dysfunction or loss of insulin-secreting β cells in the pancreas is a hallmark of diabetes. Here, Dorrell et al.identify four subpopulations of β cells in humans, which differ in gene expression and insulin secretion kinetics, and the abundance of which ...

A role for the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor in cell-cell communication in pancreatic islets of langerhans [PDF]
, 2008 Background: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in many tissues that are not associated with Ca2+ homeostasis, including the endocrine cells in pancreatic islets of Langerhans.

TRPM2 modulates insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells [PDF]
Islets, 2011 Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is the primary mechanism by which the body lowers blood glucose concentrations. Glucose is the principal stimulator of insulin secretion, and the primary pathway involved in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is the ATP-sensitive K+ channel voltage-gated Ca2+ channel-mediated pathway.

The neuronal K+Cl− co-transporter 2 (Slc12a5) modulates insulin secretion
Scientific Reports, 2017 Intracellular chloride concentration ([Cl−]i) in pancreatic β-cells is kept above electrochemical equilibrium due to the predominant functional presence of Cl− loaders such as the Na+K+2Cl− co-transporter 1 (Slc12a2) over Cl−extruders of unidentified ...

Developmental and functional effects of steroid hormones on the neuroendocrine axis and spinal cord [PDF]
, 2016 This review highlights the principal effects of steroid hormones at central and peripheral levels in the neuroendocrine axis. The data discussed highlight the principal role of oestrogens and testosterone in hormonal programming in relation to sexual ...
