The biosynthetic activity of the B-cells of obese hyperglycemic mice (obob) was measured by the incorporation of [3H]leucine into proteins in collagenase-isolated pancreatic islets. To quantitate the incorporation into proinsulin and insulin, an immune binding method was used. For this purpose,
Collagenase-isolated islets from obese hyperglycemic mice were used to study the effects of fatty acids and ketone bodies on insulin biosynthesis. The biosynthetic rate was quantitated as the incorporation of 3H-leucine into proinsulin and insulin, which were separated from the crude islet
It has been demonstrated that human melanocortin-4 receptor (hMC4R) plays an important role in the control of energy homeostasis, and heterozygous mutations in the hMC4R gene are the most frequent genetic cause of severe human obesity. In order to obtain additional insight into the structure and
