Unravelling the heterogeneity of diabetes in chronic pancreatitis: Alpha and beta cell dysfunction and association with glycaemic control

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Diabetes in patients with chronic pancreatitis is a heterogeneous condition with some patients presenting with pre‐existing diabetes and others developing diabetes after pancreatitis onset. We aimed to characterise beta and alpha cell function in these patients and examine differences between those with and without pre‐existing diabetes ...

A gut-to-brain signal of fluid osmolarity controls thirst satiation. [PDF]

, 2019
Satiation is the process by which eating and drinking reduce appetite. For thirst, oropharyngeal cues have a critical role in driving satiation by reporting to the brain the volume of fluid that has been ingested1-12.

Activation of the Cholinergic Anti-inflammatory Pathway Attenuated Angiotension II-Dependent Hypertension and Renal Injury

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Background: Angiotensin II (AngII) induces renal fibrosis, characterized by fibroblast proliferation, inflammatory cell infiltration and excessive extracellular matrix deposition, all of which was relevant closely to hypertension. The vagus nerve-related

Vagotomy dissociates short- and long-term controls of circulating ghrelin.

Endocrinology, 2003
Plasma ghrelin levels are responsive to short- and long-term nutrient fluctuation, rapidly decreasing with food consumption and increasing with food deprivation or weight loss. We hypothesized a vagal contribution to both responses.

Synchronized gastric electrical stimulation improves vagotomy-induced impairment in gastric accommodation via the nitrergic pathway in dogs.

American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2009
Impaired gastric accommodation and gastric dysrhythmia are common in gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia. Recent studies have shown that synchronized gastric electrical stimulation (SGES) accelerates gastric emptying and enhances antral contractions ...

Enteric neuropathy and the vagus nerve: Therapeutic implications

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Abstract Enteric neuropathies are characterized by abnormalities of gut innervation, which includes the enteric nervous system, inducing severe gut dysmotility among other dysfunctions. Most of the gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the vagus nerve, the efferent branches of which have close interconnections with the enteric nervous system and ...
