  2. 1. Search for MODY and Type 2 diabetes genes

    Author : Markku Lehto; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 2 diabetes; mutation; MODY; mitochondrial DNA; MIDD; insulin deficiency; hepatocyte nuclear factor; Gestational diabetes; glucokinase; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Abstract : Diabetes is a heterogeneous disease influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is considered as a subform of Type 2 diabetes, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and expressed at childhood or early adult life.

  4. 2. Molecular mechanisms underlying the glucose-dependent transcription of the insulin and glucokinase genes in the pancreatic beta-cell

    Author : Tilo Moede; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Insulin is of vital importance in the maintenance of the glucose homeostasis in mammals. This necessitates a tight regulation of both insulin release and biosynthesis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Selective insulin signaling in the pancreatic beta-cell via the two insulin receptor isoforms

    Author : Sabine Uhles; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Insulin receptor; signal transduction; gene expression regulation; insulin; glucokinase; cfos; pancreatic beta cell; membrane microdomains; green fluorescent protein.;

    Abstract : Insulin exhibits pleiotropic effects that are tissue- as well as development-dependent. However, the mechanisms by which insulin gains selective effects are poorly understood. Selectivity in insulin signaling is currently discussed as the result of the activation of specific signal transduction pathways. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanism-Based Modeling of the Glucose-Insulin Regulation during Clinical Provocation Experiments

    Author : Petra Jauslin-Stetina; Mats Karlsson; Nicolas Frey; Philippe Jacqmin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmacokinetics Pharmacotherapy; Glucose homeostasis; Type 2 diabetes; IVGTT; OGTT; Meal test; Circadian variation; Mechanism-based; NONMEM; Farmakokinetik Farmakoterapi;

    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

  7. 5. Models of the metabolism of the pancreatic beta-cell

    Author : Pål Westermark; Anders Lansner; Jean-Pierre Mazat; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : The pancreatic β-cell secretes insulin in response to a raised blood glucose level. Deficiencies in this control system are an important part of the etiology of diabetes. READ MORE
