1. Assessment and Treatment of Impaired Insulin- Secretion and Action in Type 2 Diabetes
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a disease characterised by varying degrees of defect in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Optimal glycaemic control reduces the progression of diabetic complications. LÄS MER
2. Novel insights into the regulation of insulin secretion by GLP-1, GIP and glucagon
Sammanfattning : There are many contributing factors to the development of type 2 diabetes, however, failure of beta-cells to sufficiently secrete insulin is the key component. The underlying mechanism of beta-cell failure is not fully established. In this thesis, we examined the role of high glucagon levels, i.e. LÄS MER
3. Regulation of docking and priming in pancreatic α- and β-cells
Sammanfattning : The secretion of islet hormones from endocrine cells of the pancreas plays vital roles in maintaining glucose homeostasis. Dysfunction of these cells leads to diabetes, a devastating metabolic disorder affecting millions worldwide, but underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. LÄS MER
4. Control of metabolism and hormone secretion from pancreatic alpha and beta cells
Sammanfattning : Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disease, which has made it difficult to resolve its pathophysiology. We investigated processes that could contribute to the development of T2D. LÄS MER
5. α-Cell signalling in glucose-regulated glucagon secretion
Sammanfattning : Glucagon is a blood glucose-elevating hormone released from α-cells in the islets of Langerhans during hypoglycaemia. Glucagon is critical for glucose homeostasis and inappropriate regulation of its secretion underlies both impaired counter-regulation of hypoglycaemia and chronic hyperglycaemia in diabetes patients.
