Insulin secretion is widely thought to be maximally stimulated in glucose concentrations of 16.7-to-30 mM (300-to-540 mg/dL). However, insulin secretion is seldom tested in hyperglycemia exceeding these levels despite the Guinness World Record being 147 ...

A genetic screen identifies Crat as a regulator of pancreatic beta-cell insulin secretion
Objectives: Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is a critical function in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, and its deregulation is associated with the development of type 2 diabetes.

Parathyroid localization [PDF]
Twenty-nine consecutive patients with suspected primary hyperparathyroidism were examined preoperatively using ultrasound, sonographically guided fine needle aspiration, and aspirate immunostaining for PTH.

Activation of β2 adrenergic receptors by catecholamine or catecholamine-mimetic substances may enhance insulin secretion. We herein investigated KCl- and nutrient-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic islets isolated from β2 knockout (β2KO) mice ...

Glucose metabolism and oscillatory behavior of pancreatic islets [PDF]
A variety of oscillations are observed in pancreatic islets.We establish a model, incorporating two oscillatory systems of different time scales: One is the well-known bursting model in pancreatic beta-cells and the other is the glucose-insulin feedback ...

Aging in mammals has often been associated with decreased insulin secretion and a subsequent deterioration in the ability to maintain glucose homeostasis. However, recent studies have demonstrated that factors such as disease, obesity, and physical activity more closely reflect diminished insulin secretion rather than aging per se. Thus, the purpose of

Islet isolation assessment in man and large animals [PDF]
Recent progress in islet isolation from the pancreas of large mammals including man, accentuated the need for the development of precise and reproducible techniques to assess islet yield.

Ethnic differences in adiposity and diabetes risk – insights from genetic studies [PDF]
Type 2 diabetes is more common in non-Europeans and starts at a younger age and at lower BMI cut-offs. This review discusses the insights from genetic studies about pathophysiological mechanisms which determine risk of disease with a focus on the role of

Rosuvastatin Treatment Affects Both Basal and Glucose-Induced Insulin Secretion in INS-1 832/13 Cells. [PDF]
Rosuvastatin is a member of the statin family. Like the other statins it is prescribed to lower cholesterol levels and thereby reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Hypoglycin stimulates insulin secretion [PDF]
Hypoglycin A(0.01--1.0 mmol/l) stimulated insulin release from pieces of rabbit pancreas in vitro in the presence or absence of extracellular glucose. The relevance of this finding to the hypoglycaemia of Jamaican vomiting sickness is discussed.
