2. Mechanism-Based Modeling of the Glucose-Insulin Regulation during Clinical Provocation Experiments
Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is a complex chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia associated with a relative deficiency of insulin secretion and a reduced response of target tissues to insulin. Considerable efforts have been put into the development of models describing the glucose-insulin system. READ MORE

3. Melatonin receptors in pancreatic islets - Linking a genetic variant to functional phenotype
Abstract : Defective insulin secretion and insulin resistance are the two hallmarks of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The pathophysiology of the disease is not fully understood but genetic susceptibility for the disease is a new major player in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms. READ MORE

4. Islet hormonal hypersecretion and metformin’s effect on islet hormonal secretion studied in vitro and in vivo
Abstract : Childhood obesity has surged globally. Elevated levels of free fatty acids contribute to hyperinsulinemia, hyperproinsulinemia, and hyperglucagonemia connected with both obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metformin has beneficial effects on islets by influencing metabolism and reducing stress-induced cell death. READ MORE

5. Microdialysis as a tool for the management of diabetes mellitus
Abstract : Diabetes complications are the result of impaired metabolic control. A continuous glucose monitoring system could be a tool to improve metabolic control. Microdialysis is a minimal invasive method for investigating tissue metabolism in-vivo and provides a novel opportunity for glucose monitoring in patients with diabetes (DM). READ MORE
