1. Membrane rafts and its GPI anchored complement inhibitors regulate insulin secretion
Abstract : Type 2 diabetic patients usually exhibit an abnormal lipid profile. One such lipid that is constantly elevated in T2D is cholesterol. At the cellular level, cholesterol aids in tight packing of sphingolipids in certain regions of the plasma membrane and these specialized regions are termed ‘membrane rafts’, which act as signalling hubs.

2. GH, IGF-1 and insulin in the regulation of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism
Abstract : It is well known that growth hormone (GH) has profound effects on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is believed to mediate some of the effects of GH via endocrine and paracrine mechanisms. Moreover, both GH and IGF-I are known to influence insulin secretion.

3. Pulsatile insulin release from single islets of Langerhans
Abstract : Insulin release from single islets of Langerhans is pulsatile. The secretory activities of the islets in the pancreas are coordinated resulting in plasma insulin oscillations. Nutrients amplitude-regulate the insulin pulses without influencing their frequency. READ MORE

4. ATP Dynamics in Pancreatic α- and β-cells
Abstract : Glucose metabolism in pancreatic α- and β-cells is believed to regulate secretion of glucagon and insulin, respectively. In β-cells, ATP links glucose metabolism to electrical activity and insulin secretion. READ MORE

5. Glucose metabolism in patients with exocrine pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Abstract : Carc.inoma of the exocrine pancreas is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in the Western world and the survival rate is one of the lowest for cancers of any site. Pancreatic cancer is characterized by pronounced, early cachexia and frequent metabolic complications. READ MORE
