Microcirculation in the islets of langerhans of the mouse

The Anatomical Record, 1963
AbstractA technique for the study of microcirculation in living islets, using quartz rod and cinephotomicrography, is presented, together with results of a study of insular microcirculation. With this technique, conditions are standard, results are reproducible and the findings are recorded permanently. The pancreas, bathed constantly in Locke‐Ringer's

Neuropeptides in the Control of the Islets of Langerhans

1983
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the functions of neuropeptides in the control of the islets of Langerhans. The pancreatic islets of Langerhans are the major regulatory centers involved in blood glucose homeostasis. Each consists of a complex of intimately linked endocrine cells capable of responding to a wide variety of metabolic, neural ...

Culture of the islets of Langerhans for transplantation

The Japanese Journal of Surgery, 1982
The isolated islets of Langerhans are the most available donors for transplantation. As the preservation of the isolated islets is difficult, we attempted to keep these tissues viable by use of an organ culture. Islets of Langerhans from adult Wistar rats were isolated by a collagenase technique and cultured in air-CO2 (95-5%) incubator at 37 degrees C.

Synthesis of glycosaminoglycans by islets of Langerhans

Life Sciences, 1988
Incorporation of (35S)-sulfate into glycosaminoglycans (GAG) of toadfish islets of Langerhans in vitro was examined. (35S)-sulfated GAG were synthesized by a component of the microsomal fraction, and subsequently transferred to the secretion granules, mitochondria and nuclei.

Glucoreceptor Mechanisms in Islets of Langerhans

Diabetes, 1972
A widely accepted concept has been that metabolites of glucose or factors associated with glucose metabolism, rather than glucose itself, trigger insulin release from the β cells. If this concept is correct, levels of metabolites or cofactors or of both should change within seconds of the glucose pulse.

Multiple Transplantations of Islets of Langerhans

European Surgical Research, 2008
In 6 diabetic rats about 1,000 isolated islets of Langerhans were transplanted into the liver with little effect on the uninsulinism and hyperglycemia. Subsequently, a second transplantation resulted in a decrease of blood sugar to normal and in a reversal of the loss in body weight. Finally, in animals who had reversed to diabetes again, a third islet

Imaging of the β-cells of the islets of Langerhans

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2012
The major aim of this paper is to review the present status of the techniques for the non-invasive imaging and quantification of insulin-producing pancreatic islet β-cells. Emphasis is placed on both the expansion of prior work already considered in a prior review and novel achievements.

THE ISLETS OF LANGERHANS IN PANCREATIC FIBROSIS

Pediatrics, 1958
A survey is given of earlier views on the occurrence of diabetes and decreased glucose tolerance in cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, as well as on the structure of the islet tissue in this disease and in experimental fibrosis of the pancreas. Intravenous glucose tolerance tests were performed in three patients with cystic fibrosis.

Microtubule interactions in islets of Langerhans.

Hormone and metabolic research. Supplement series, 1980
Morphologic and functional studies have implicated islet microtubules in the transport of the B-cell secretory product form the endoplasmic reticulum to the peripheral pool of secretory vesicles. The participation of the microtubular apparatus in the insulin release mechanism appears to be mediated through an increased rate of tubulin synthesis and of ...
