  1. 6. Pitfalls in β-cell ion imaging with fluorescent indicators and their use for real-time detection of somatostatin secretion

    Författare :Mingyu Yang; Anders Tengholm; Enming Zhang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; β-cells; cytoplasmic Ca²⁺; cytoplasmic pH; fluorescent indicators; pancreatic islets; R-GECO1; somatostatin; type 2 diabetes; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Fluorescent ion indicators have become indispensable tools in cell physiology. Dye indicators can easily be loaded into most types of cells, while genetically encoded indicators are advantageous in allowing specific cellular or subcellular targeting. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Physiology and Pathophysiology of Hormone Secretion from lslets of Langerhans

    Författare :Samuel Acreman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Islet; diabetes; glucagon; insulin; somatostatin; incretin; pancreas; hypoglycaemia; tetraspanin; GLP-1; endoplasmic reticulum;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes is a metabolic disorder stemming from the improper regulation of blood glucose levels by hormones secreted by pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Paper I describes the mechanism by which glucose can regulate glucagon secretion, independent of membrane potential, from pancreatic α-cells, via modulation of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ handling.

  4. 8. Growth hormone regulation of hepatic drug-metabolising enzymes in humans and rats

    Författare :Eva Rasmussen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; growth hormone; IGF-I; somatostatin; cytochrome P450; regulation; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; klinisk farmakologi; Clinical Pharmacology;

    Sammanfattning : There are pronounced sex-differences in the gene expression of several liver enzymes in the rat. The sex-differentiated secretion of growth hormone (GH) regulates these differences. We wanted to further investigate the mechanisms of this regulation in rats and to study the GH regulation of drug metabolism in man. LÄS MER

  5. 9. The Gastrin-ECL Cell Axis. Functional Aspects

    Författare :Maria Björkqvist; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; Pharmacological sciences; Calcium channels; CCK receptor antagonists; Misoprostol; Galanin; Somatostatin; Pancreastatin; Histamine; VIP; Gastrin; PACAP;

    Sammanfattning : The ECL cells constitute a prominent endocrine cell population in the acid-producing part of the stomach. They are controlled by circulating gastrin released from G-cells in the antrum. In response to gastrin, they secrete histamine, that in turn stimulates the parietal cell to secrete acid. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Origin, release and functional significance of the novel gastric hormone ghrelin

    Författare :Charlotta Dornonville de la Cour; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; toxicology; Farmakologi; pharmacognosy; pharmacy; Pharmacological sciences; bone metabolism; energy homeostasis; glucagon; insulin; secretion; pancreastatin; somatostatin; histamine; gastrin; gastric acid secretion; ghrelin; gastric motility; A-like cells; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : The novel gastric hormone ghrelin was discovered by virtue of its ability to release growth hormone (GH) via interaction with the so-called GH-secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Earlier only synthetic agents were known to bind with the GHS-R, hence, ghrelin is the first identified endogenous ligand. LÄS MER
