Insulinoma represents hypoglycemia as a predominant symptom; the autonomic symptoms may be resolved by chronically recurrent hypoglycemia resulting in the persistence of non-specific symptoms alone. Therefore, it has been estimated that there are many patients in whom the disease takes The oral antidiabetic sulfonylurea [3H]glibenclamide specifically binds to plasma membranes from a rat beta-cell tumor indicating a receptor for sulfonylureas in these membranes. Irradiation of [3H]glibenclamide at 254 or 300 nm in the presence of albumin resulted in covalent labeling of the albumin
Glucose-induced insulin secretion from pancreatic islets requires metabolism of glucose within islet beta-cells, and ATP has attracted interest as a messenger of glucose metabolism within beta-cells. Glucose-induced insulin secretion from islets and HIT insulinoma cells is accompanied by activation
A lysate of purified insulin secretory granules, which contains two types of proinsulin processing activity (type 1, Arg-Arg-directed and type II, Lys-Arg-directed (Davidson, H.W., Rhodes, C.J., and Hutton, J. C. (1988) Nature 333, 93-96), was found to process proalbumin by specific proteolytic
The present study was undertaken to compare the changes in islet cell antibodies (ICA), islet cell surface antibodies using rat insulinoma cells (RINr-ICSA), and anti-bovine serum albumin antibodies (BSA-Ab) in the clinical course of type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. Sera were obtained from 57
Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1a-c) and serum albumin (glycosyl-albumin) have been determined in patients with severe diabetic ketoacidosis and non-acidotic coma. Within one week of therapy the level of glycosyl-albumin decreased from 184 mmol 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)/mol albumin to 152 mmol
The relationship among serum fructosamine concentration and total serum protein and albumin concentrations were evaluated in healthy and sick dogs (diabetics and dogs with insulinoma were not included). Fructosamine was determined using a commercial colorimetric nitroblue tetrazolium method applied
Hypoglycemia is the major symptom of insulinoma. Chronic and recurrent hypoglycemia leads to the disappearance of autonomic symptoms and persistence of non-specific symptoms alone, possibly contributing to the delayed diagnosis of insulinoma and accounting for several undiagnosed cases. We
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is highly and specifically expressed on the pancreatic β-cells. It plays an important role in glucose metabolism as well as in β-cell-derived diseases like diabetes, insulinoma, or congenital and adult hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Radiolabeled
In this study, the influence of guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) fruit fresh juice (FJ) and a phenolic-rich fraction (PRF) isolated from juice on mice insulinoma MIN6 cells activities was investigated. Extracts were able to decrease intracellular oxidative stress at the highest non-cytotoxic
OBJECTIVE
The effects of human serum albumin (HSA) complexed with various free fatty acids (FFAs) on ß-cells have not been studied in detail. In this study, we examined the effects of HSA and its mutants on FFA-induced cell viability changes and insulin secretion from the hamster pancreatic
Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) regulates glucose mediated-insulin secretion, nutrient accumulation, and β-cell growth. Despite the potential therapeutic usage for type 2 diabetes (T2D), GLP-1 has a short half-life in vivo (t(1/2) <2 min). In an attempt to prolong half-life, GLP-1 fusion proteins
Our previous study reported that both oxidative stress and protein glycation were the principal mechanisms underlying 2‑deoxy‑D‑ribose (dRib)‑induced pancreatic β‑cell damage. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of captopril on dRib‑induced damage in pancreatic β‑cells, as
In the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is very important to develop therapeutics with prolonged circulation half-life. Exendin-4 is a glucagon like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist that has been modified in different ways for imaging insulinoma and for treating type-2 diabetes. In this
Hypoglycemia is a common medical emergency. It is the most frequent complication induced by anti-diabetic treatment. However, it can be observed in other conditions unrelated to diabetes such as insulinoma, autoimmune disorders, and neoplasia. Herein, we report the case of a rare cause of severe and
