  2. 1. Regulation of insulin secretion in diabetes: Molecular mechanism and applications

    Author : Rui Wu; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Insulin production secretion; CaV channels; DEGs; aging; magnetic field;

    Abstract : Diabetes is a highly ageing-related disease manifesting with a deteriorated capacity of insulin secretion and uncontrolled blood glucose-raising, hyperglycemia. In this thesis, we aim to explore the underlying roles of CaV channels and aging-associated genetic changes in the development of Type 2 diabetes (T2D). READ MORE

  5. 3. Voltage-Sensor Domains of Ion Channels : Physiology, Regulation, and Role in Disease

    Author : Michelle Nilsson; Antonios Pantazis; Fredrik Elinder; Henry M. Colecraft; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Brain function depends on the ability of neurons to sense and respond to electricity, which is mediated by small modules in the neuronal membrane called voltage-sensor domains (VSDs). Disruption of VSD function can cause neurological disease such as epilepsy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Roles of voltage-gated Ca2+ channel subunits in pancreatic β cells

    Author : Abdulla S. Kazim; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Keywords : diabetes; Type 2 diabetes T2D ; Ca2 ; Ca2 channels; subunits;

    Abstract : Hallmarks of type 2 diabetes (T2D) include elevated blood glucose and free fatty acids (FFAs) as a result of impaired β cell insulin secretion and decreased β cell mass. The glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in β cells is triggered by depolarization-evoked Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ion channel control of phasic insulin secretion

    Author : Xingjun Jing; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; phasic insulin secretion; Diabetes; pancreatic β-cells; ClC chloride channel; exocytosis; CaV channel;

    Abstract : Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion exhibits a biphasic pattern. The mechanism underling biphasic insulin secretion is not fully understood, but consensus exists that an elevation in [Ca2+]i is required for both first- and second-phase insulin secretion. READ MORE
