  2. 11. Regulation of human pancreas hormone secretion by autonomic innervation

    Author : Rayner Rodriguez-Diaz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is a silent killer doing away with one person every 10 seconds. We speak of diabetes when the organism cannot control the right level of glucose in the blood. The hormones insulin and glucagon secreted by the islets of Langerhans are the major players maintaining glucose homeostasis. READ MORE
