1. Glucotoxicity in Insulin-Producing β-Cells
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is connected with elevated glucose levels, which cause impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and degeneration of β-cells. Mechanisms for such glucotoxic effects were explored in the present study.Materials and methods: INS-1E cells were cultured for 5 days in 5. LÄS MER
2. Beta Cell Function: from Human Genetics to Animal Models
Sammanfattning : Beta cell function is an important factor in the development of both Type 1 (T1D) and Type 2 (T2D) diabetes mellitus. T1D is characterized by a primary defect in insulin secretion due to the immune-mediated beta cell destruction, however, the more common T2D beside insulin resistance also include impaired beta cell function as a consequence to abnormal glucose homeostasis.

3. Glucose, Palmitate and Apolipoprotein CIII-induced Effects on Insulin-Producing β-cells
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus results from complex interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors that together promote impairment of insulin-producing β-cells. Elevated levels of glucose, fatty acid palmitate and apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) are implicated in this process. LÄS MER
4. Protein expression analysis of insulin producing cells exposed to endoplasmic reticulum stress
Sammanfattning : The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing rapidly as a result of the obesity epidemic. T2DM develops in individuals who fails to compensate for increased demand of insulin. LÄS MER
5. Roles of the transient receptor potential channels and the intracellular Ca2+ channels in Ca2+ signaling in the beta-cells
Sammanfattning : Previous studies from our group reported that pancreatic β-cells express ryanodine receptors (RyRs) that can mediate Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). The full consequences of the activation of RyRs on Ca2+ signaling in these cells, however, remained unclear. LÄS MER
