Mifepristone reduces insulin resistance in patient volunteers with adrenal incidentalomas that secrete low levels of cortisol : a pilot study [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Incidental adrenal masses are commonly detected during imaging for other pathologies. 10% of the elderly population has an ‘adrenal incidentaloma’, up to 20% of these show low-grade autonomous cortisol secretion and 60% of patients with ...

Assessment of the Role of Metabolic Determinants on the Relationship between Insulin Sensitivity and Secretion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:Insulin secretion correlates inversely with insulin sensitivity, which may suggest the existence of a crosstalk between peripheral organs and pancreas.

Modulation of insulin secretion by RBFOX2-mediated alternative splicing
Nature Communications, 2023 Insulin secretion is a tightly regulated process that is vital for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. Although the molecular components of insulin granule trafficking and secretion are well established, how they are regulated to rapidly fine-tune ...

BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, 2021 Introduction It is increasingly recognized that type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogenous disease with ethnic variations. Differences in insulin secretion, insulin resistance and ectopic fat are thought to contribute to these variations.

Molecular Metabolism, 2022 Objectives: Pancreatic beta cells secrete insulin postprandially and during fasting to maintain glucose homeostasis. Although glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) has been extensively studied, much less is known about basal insulin secretion. Here,

Diabetologia, 1981 Aspects of insulin secretory mechanisms and models of diabetogenic B cell damage are discussed. Measurements of fluxes of 3H-labelled triphenylmethylphosphonium ion, 86Rb+, 42K+, 22Na+, and 45Ca2+ in isolated islets indicate that the triggering of insulin release depends on alterations in the interaction of ions with the B cells.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 is a negative modulator of glucagon secretion [PDF]
, 2017 Glucagon secretion involves a combination of paracrine, autocrine, hormonal, and autonomic neural mechanisms. Type 2 diabetes often presents impaired glucagon suppression by insulin and glucose.

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 ...

European lipodystrophy registry: background and structure
Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020 Background Lipodystrophy syndromes comprise a group of extremely rare and heterogeneous diseases characterized by a selective loss of adipose tissue in the absence of nutritional deprivation or catabolic state. Because of the rarity of each lipodystrophy

Deoxysugars and Insulin Secretion
Hormone and Metabolic Research, 1977 It has been shown that a deoxysugar, D(+)-digitoxose, inhibits glucose-induced insulin release without inhibiting the glucose oxidation rates of the islets. In the present study the effect on insulin release of several other common deoxysugar (L-fucose, D-fucose, L-rhamnose, 2-deoxy-D-galactose and 2-deoxy-D-ribose) was investigated. We have found that
