1. Regulation of insulin secretion in diabetes: Molecular mechanism and applications
Sammanfattning : Diabetes is a highly ageing-related disease manifesting with a deteriorated capacity of insulin secretion and uncontrolled blood glucose-raising, hyperglycemia. In this thesis, we aim to explore the underlying roles of CaV channels and aging-associated genetic changes in the development of Type 2 diabetes (T2D). LÄS MER
2. The Best Leading Role for Maintaining Normal β-cell Function Goes to MafA and Voltage-gated Calcium Channel Subunit γ4
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Voltage-Sensor Domains of Ion Channels : Physiology, Regulation, and Role in Disease
Sammanfattning : Brain function depends on the ability of neurons to sense and respond to electricity, which is mediated by small modules in the neuronal membrane called voltage-sensor domains (VSDs). Disruption of VSD function can cause neurological disease such as epilepsy. LÄS MER
4. Roles of voltage-gated Ca2+ channel subunits in pancreatic β cells
Sammanfattning : Hallmarks of type 2 diabetes (T2D) include elevated blood glucose and free fatty acids (FFAs) as a result of impaired β cell insulin secretion and decreased β cell mass. The glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in β cells is triggered by depolarization-evoked Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels. LÄS MER
5. Ion channel control of phasic insulin secretion
Sammanfattning : Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion exhibits a biphasic pattern. The mechanism underling biphasic insulin secretion is not fully understood, but consensus exists that an elevation in [Ca2+]i is required for both first- and second-phase insulin secretion. LÄS MER
