  1. 1. The interplay of ions in the stimulation of the pancreatic -cell

    Författare :Michael Eberhardson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; diabetes; pancreatic β-cells; cytoplasmic calcium; oscillations; glucose; tetrodotoxin; tolbutamide; veratridine; tetraethylammonium; quinine; cesium; H2DIDS; furosemide; transients; microfluorometry; fura-2; MQAE; calcium channels; potassium channels; sodium channels; chloride channels; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Glucose stimulation of insulin release is mediated by depolarisation of the pancreatic β-cells with accompanying entry of Ca2+ through voltage-dependent channels. An important feature of the glucose-induced depolarisation is its rhythmicity causing oscillations of the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), which trigger pulsatile release of insulin.

  3. 2. Pulsatile insulin release from single islets of Langerhans

    Författare :Johanna Westerlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; islets of Langerhans; insulin; ELISA; cytoplasmic calcium; oscillations; type 2 diabetes; glucose; diazoxide; potassium; tolbutamide; DNP; antimycin A; iodoacetamide; microfluorometry; fura-2; KATP channels; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin release from single islets of Langerhans is pulsatile. The secretory activities of the islets in the pancreas are coordinated resulting in plasma insulin oscillations. Nutrients amplitude-regulate the insulin pulses without influencing their frequency. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Age pigments and the biochemical basis of their formation

    Författare :Dazhong Yin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The autofluorescent, yellow-brown pigments that accumulate over time inbiological organisms are called age pigments. Lipofuscin, known as a hallmark of aging, refers to intracellular age pigments that accumulate mainly in the lysosomes of postrnitotic cells. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Molecular mechanisms involved in the generation of calcium signals in insulin secreting cells

    Författare :Kalaiselvan Krishnan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Intracellular Ca 2+ regulates diverse cellular functions in almost all the cells. In the pancreatic ß-cells, Ca 2+ signals are critical for insulin secretion. An increase in the cytoplasmic free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ]i) triggers insulin secretion. LÄS MER
