Intrahepatic Glucose Flux as a Mechanism for Defective Intrahepatic Islet -Cell Response to Hypoglycemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE—Glucagon responses to hypoglycemia from islets transplanted in the liver are defective. To determine whether this defect is related to intrahepatic glycogen, islets from inbred Lewis rats were transplanted into the hepatic sinus (H group), peritoneal cavity (P group), omentum (O group), and kidney capsule (K group) of recipient Lewis rats previously rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ).

متن کاملRestoration of Glucose Counterregulation by Islet Transplantation in Long-standing Type 1 Diabetes
Patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes (T1D) may exhibit defective glucose counterregulation and impaired hypoglycemia symptom recognition that substantially increase their risk for experiencing severe hypoglycemia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether intrahepatic islet transplantation improves endogenous glucose production (EGP) in response to hypoglycemia in T1D patients e...
متن کاملPuzzling About Partial Glucagon Responses to Hypoglycemia in Intrahepatic Islet Recipients: Missing Pieces
Fifteen years ago, Shapiro et al. (1), at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine that caused great excitement. They reported that seven consecutive recipients with type 1 diabetes who had received intrahepatic infusions of human islet allografts maintained normal levels of HbA1c for more than 1 year after transplant (4.4–14.9 m...
متن کاملAnalysis of islet beta cell functions and their correlations with liver dysfunction in patients with neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD)
Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) primarily manifests in neonates or infants with hepatomegaly, liver dysfunction, and hypoglycemia. This study investigated the functions of islet beta cells and their correlations with liver dysfunction in NICCD patients.We retrospectively analyzed clinical data on liver function and islet beta cell functions for 36 patients ...
متن کاملPrevention of diabetes for up to 13 years by autoislet transplantation after pancreatectomy for chronic pancreatitis.
Patients with chronic pancreatitis who undergo total pancreas resection inevitably become diabetic unless their islets are autotransplanted to prevent diabetes. We studied patients who underwent this procedure to assess its long-term efficacy in providing stable glucose regulation. Six patients were followed for up to 13 (6.2 +/- 1.7) years after intrahepatic islet autotransplantation. From 290...
