According to a genome-wide association study, intronic SNPs within the human sterile 20/SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase (SPAK) gene was linked to 20% of the general population and may be associated with elevated blood pressure. As cell volume changes, mammalian SPAK kinases respond to
The inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir6.2 is the pore-forming subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel, which controls insulin secretion by coupling glucose metabolism to membrane potential in beta-cells. Loss of channel function because of mutations in Kir6.2 or its associated
The current studies were designed to evaluate the role of plasma insulin and glucose as regulators of intestinal glucose transport in vivo. Initially, rats received either intravenous glucose infusion or intraperitoneal streptozotocin to induce sustained hyperglycemic hyperinsulinemia or
A female infant of nonconsanguineous Indian parents presented at 4 months with a hypoglycemic convulsion. Further episodes of hypoketotic hypoglycemia were associated with inappropriately elevated plasma insulin concentrations. However, unlike other children with hyperinsulinism, this patient had a
Congenital hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycaemia in infancy. Early surgical intervention is usually required to prevent brain damage. The prevention of the transmission to the offspring is important in families carrying the mutated gene. Preimplantation genetic
Clinical insulin resistance is associated with decreased activation of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) and its downstream substrate protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt. However, its physiological protein substrates remain poorly characterized. In the present study, the effect of in vivo insulin action
OBJECTIVE
A functional polymorphism leucine 7 proline in the human neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene leading to increased NPY release from sympathetic nerves is associated with traits of metabolic syndrome. Although hypothalamic NPY neurons play an established role in promoting positive energy balance, the
BACKGROUND
Silencing proline-rich Akt substrate of 40-kDa (PRAS40) impairs insulin signalling in skeletal muscle.
OBJECTIVE
This study assessed the effects of over-expressing wild type or mutant AAA-PRAS40, in which the major phosphorylation sites and mTORC1-binding site were mutated, on insulin
OBJECTIVE
Antagonism of the gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor with daily injection of proline-3 gastric inhibitory polypeptide ((Pro(3))GIP) can reverse or prevent many of the metabolic abnormalities associated with diet-induced obesity-diabetes (diabesity). This study has examined the
Hyperinsulinemia is a major risk factor for the development of vascular disease. We have reported that insulin increases the motility of vascular smooth muscle cells via a hydrogen peroxide-mediated mechanism and that nitric oxide (NO) attenuates insulin-induced motility via a cGMP-mediated
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), but not histidyl-proline diketopiperazine (cyclo[His-Pro]), induced transient hyperglycemia associated with hyperglucagonemia and marked hyperinsulinemia when placed intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) in anesthetized rats. This TRH-induced hyperglycemia was
WNK-oxidative stress-responsive 1 (OSR1) /STE20/SPS1-related proline-alanine-rich protein kinase(SPAK)-SLC12A transporters cascade regulates blood pressure through NaCl reabsorption in kidney and vasoconstriction. Furthermore, we recently reported that this cascade is positively regulated by
Ammonium salts were infused in intact, pancreatectomized, and adrenalectomized dogs to produce coma-inducing amounts of plasma ammonia. Changes in intact dogs included hyperglycemia, hyperglucagonemia, hyperinsulinemia, and decreases in plasma concentrations of glutamine, alanine, threonine,
In 2001, with-no-lysine (WNK) kinases were identified as the genes responsible for the human hereditary hypertensive disease pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII). It took a further 6 years to clarify that WNK kinases participate in a signaling cascade with oxidative stress-responsive gene 1
Metabolic syndrome patients have insulin resistance, which causes hyperinsulinemia, which in turn causes aberrant increased renal sodium reabsorption. The precise mechanisms underlying this greater salt sensitivity of hyperinsulinemic patients remain unclear. Abnormal activation of the recently
