  2. 1. Incretin Hormone Secretion - Studies in Human Subjects

    Author : Ola Lindgren; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insulin; obesity; GLP-1; GIP; incretin;

    Abstract : Several different hormones are released from the intestine following a meal. In this thesis we have focused on the so called incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hypoglycaemia; Gastric Bypass surgery; Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch DS ; NT-ProBNP; Continuous glucose measuring system CGMS ; GLP-1-analog; glucose variability; MAGE; CONGA; counter regulation; incretin; Heart Rate Variability; Endocrinology and Diabetology; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi;

    Abstract : Obesity has grown to epidemic proportions, and in lack of efficient life-style and medical treatments, the bariatric surgeries are performed in rising numbers. The most common surgery is the Gastric Bypass (GBP) surgery, with the Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (DS) as an option for the most extreme cases with a BMI>50 kg/m2. READ MORE

  6. 4. Physiology and Pathophysiology of Hormone Secretion from lslets of Langerhans

    Author : Samuel Acreman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Islet; diabetes; glucagon; insulin; somatostatin; incretin; pancreas; hypoglycaemia; tetraspanin; GLP-1; endoplasmic reticulum;

    Abstract : Diabetes is a metabolic disorder stemming from the improper regulation of blood glucose levels by hormones secreted by pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Paper I describes the mechanism by which glucose can regulate glucagon secretion, independent of membrane potential, from pancreatic α-cells, via modulation of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ handling.

    Abstract : The metabolic syndrome (type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, dyslipidaemia, and hyperinsulinaemia), is increasing in prevalence world-wide. The progression of this syndrome proceeds through a step-wise deterioration of metabolic events where deterioration of insulin sensitivity appears to have a key role in a ?vicious circle? of hyperinsulinaemia/hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance.
