Regeneration of pancreatic beta cells.
Diabetes mellitus results from inadequate mass of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by absolute loss of beta cells due to autoimmune-mediated destruction. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by relative deficiency of beta cells due to lack of compensation for insulin resistance. Restoration of deficient beta cell mass by transplantation from exogenous source...
متن کاملUrtica Dioica Distillate Regenerates Pancreatic Beta Cells in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Background: Urtica dioica is known as an anti-hyperglycemic plant. Urtica dioica distillate (UD) is a traditional Iranian drink, locally known as “aragh gazaneh”. In spite of its widespread consumption in Iran, according to traditional Iranian medicine, there is no scientific report on the usefulness of UD for diabetic patients. This survey was designed to evaluate its protective effects for th...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent ultrasound stimulation of secretory events from pancreatic beta cells
Background Our previous studies have indicated that ultrasound can stimulate the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells, providing a potential novel treatment for type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to explore the temporal dynamics and Ca2+-dependency of ultrasound-stimulated secretory events from dopamine-loaded pancreatic beta cells in an in vitro setup. Methods Carbon fib...
متن کاملGuiding pancreatic beta cells to target electrodes in a whole-cell biosensor for diabetes.
We are developing a cell-based bioelectronic glucose sensor that exploits the multi-parametric sensing ability of pancreatic islet cells for the treatment of diabetes. These cells sense changes in the concentration of glucose and physiological hormones and immediately react by generating electrical signals. In our sensor, signals from multiple cells are recorded as field potentials by a micro-e...
متن کاملHISTOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF PANCREATIC ISLET BETA CELLS OF DIABETIC RATS TREATED WITH ORAL VANADYL SULPHATE
Vanadium salts have been suggested as a possible therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetes. The aim of the present study was to clarify histological and immunohistochemical changes that occur in the pancreatic beta (β) cells of vanadyl sulphate (VS)-treated streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Male Wi star rats were made diabetic by injecting a single intravenous dose of STZ (...
