  4. 7. Intrapulmonary insulin : Experimental and clinical studies

    Author : Johan H. Jendle; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : After intrapulmonary insulin administration was first reported in 1925, the development of highly efficient nebulisers has once again made this area interesting. Therefore, the distribution and retention of aerosol produced by a new jet nebuliser was evaluated in an animal model. READ MORE

  6. 9. Insulin Polymorphism Crystallographic Characterization of Insulin Microcrystals

    Author : Mathias Norrman; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Strukturkemi; Structure chemistry; biomatematik; protein crystallography; X-ray powder diffraction; Bioinformatics; medical informatics; microcrystals; Bioinformatik; Molekylär biofysik; Molecular biophysics; biomathematics biometrics; medicinsk informatik; insulin;

    Abstract : Insulin is a protein needed for the uptake of glucose from the circulating blood. In absence of sufficiently high insulin levels in the body or when the cells have a reduced sensitivity for insulin a disease state referred to as diabetes occurs. Treatment of diabetes generally requires daily injections of exogenous insulin. READ MORE

  7. 10. Insulin-Degrading Enzyme : A link between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease

    Author : Helena Kullenberg; Marie Svedberg; Maria Kumlin; Thomas Nyström; Michael Alvarsson; Sophiahemmet Högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: Prior research has demonstrated an elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) among individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin resistance is a potential common link between these conditions, and it is associated with AD due to the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), which also degrades amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain.
