This pre-clinical study investigated the transient receptor potential ankyrin-1 (TRPA1) channels on modulating targets for glucose homeostasis using agonists: electrophilic agonists, cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), non-electrophilic agonist, carvacrol (CRV). A tolerance test was performed rats. CIN AITC (5, 10 20 mg/kg) or CRV (25, 100, 300, 600 were administered intraperi...

Insulinoma is a rare variety of endocrine neoplasm and usually benign, solitary, small in size. It responsible endogenous insulin secretion resulting development symptoms hypoglycemia. Diagnosis insulinomas can be challenging.

To investigate the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and abnormal insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Eight mellitus treated from January 2018 to November 2020 (observation group) another 80 healthy volunteers receiving physical examination same period (control were included. Fasting venous blood sample was collected detect D3, fasting glucose, glycosylated...

The peptide hormone insulin produced by pancreatic β-cells undergoes post-transcriptional processing before secretion. In particular, C-peptide is cleaved from pro-insulin to generate mature insulin. Here, we introduce a C-peptide-mCherry human iPSC line (HMGUi001-A-8). was generated CRISPR/Cas9 mediated heterozygous insertion of the mCherry sequence into exon 3 locus. We demonstrate that pluri...

Abstract Reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress impair β-cell function and reduce insulin secretion. It has been shown that progesterone and cilostazol possess antioxidant properties. The present study was aimed to investigate in vitro pretreatment effect of progesterone and cilostazol on insulin secretion as well as their protective effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative str...

Free fatty acids play an important role in regulating animal insulin secretion response. Acute elevated free fatty acids increased animal insulin secretion and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. In the present study, we perfused the rat pancreas to explore the effect of unsaturated fatty acids on insulin secretion. The results showed that linoleic acid, γ-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid ...

b a ckground: diabetes is an important disease. this disease is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from perturbation in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. honey bee venom contains a wide range of polypeptide agents. the principle components of bee venom are mellitin and phospholipase a2. these components increase insulin secretion from the β-cells of pancreas....
