Consequences of Postnatally Elevated Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II in Transgenic Mice: Endocrine Changes and Effects on Body and Organ Growth. [PDF]
, 1994 Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is an important regulator of embryonic growth and differentiation, but its function in postnatal life is unclear. To address this point, we generated transgenic mice harboring fusion genes in which a human IGF-II

Effect of 2‐mercaptoethanol on glutathione levels, cystine uptake and insulin secretion in insulin‐secreting cells [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1992 The role of glutathione (GSH) in the differentiated state of insulin‐secreting cells was studied using 2‐mercaptoethanol as a means of varying intracellular GSH levels. 2‐Mercaptoethanol (50 μM) caused a marked increase of GSH in two rat insulinoma cell lines, RINm5F and INS‐1, the latter being dependent on the presence of 2‐mercaptoethanol for ...

JNK3 maintains expression of the insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) in insulin-secreting cells: functional consequences for insulin signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We have recently shown that silencing of the brain/islet specific c-Jun N-terminal Kinase3 (JNK3) isoform enhances both basal and cytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis, whereas silencing of JNK1 or JNK2 has opposite effects. While it is known that JNK1 or

Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]
, 2019 Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...

Catechol estrogens stimulate insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells via activation of the transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) channel [PDF]
, 2019 Estrogen hormones play an important role in controlling glucose homeostasis and pancreatic β-cell function. Despite the significance of estrogen hormones for regulation of glucose metabolism, little is known about the roles of endogenous estrogen ...

Peroxiredoxin 4 Improves Insulin Biosynthesis and Glucose-induced Insulin Secretion in Insulin-secreting INS-1E Cells [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 Oxidative folding of (pro)insulin is crucial for its assembly and biological function. This process takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is accomplished by protein disulfide isomerase and ER oxidoreductin 1β, generating stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as byproduct.
