Insulin Resistance: An Update on Biochemical and Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Impact on Various Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...

Functional Segregation of Pancreatic Microcirculation Reveals Sex‐Dependent Microhemodynamic Signatures [PDF]

Compr Physiol
Pancreatic exocrine microcirculation exhibits sexual dimorphism arising from steroid–genetic interactions. Laser Doppler flowmetry combined with wavelet analysis identifies a male passive coupling phenotype aligned with systemic pressure and a female active vasomotion phenotype driven by ERβ‐mediated, NO‐dependent oscillations.

An international consensus on screening and monitoring early‐stage type 1 diabetes: A roadmap to European implementation

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease that results in loss of insulin‐secreting pancreatic β‐cells in the islets of Langerhans. A diagnosis of T1D is typically associated with children and adolescents, yet half of all diagnoses of T1D are made in adults.

In Vivo Imaging of Transplanted Pancreatic Islets

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
The beta-cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas secrete insulin and play an important role in glucose homeostasis. Diabetes, characterized by hyperglycemia, results from an absolute or a relative deficiency of the pancreatic beta-cell mass ...

Immunological characterization of chromogranins A and B and secretogranin II in the bovine pancreatic islet [PDF]

, 1987
Antisera against chromogranin A and B and secretogranin II were used for analysing the bovine pancreas by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. All three antigens were found in extracts of fetal pancreas by one dimensional immunoblotting. A comparison
