Research reveals opposing roles for SNAP23 protein in the enzyme- and hormone-secretion functions of the pancreas; SNAP23 inhibitor increased insulin secretion in mice, suggesting potential use as a ...

Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism, Vol. 30, No. 2 (March-April 1986), pp. 113-119 (7 pages) The influence of fasting and dietary modulation on basal and stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion was ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract When glucose is raised from a basal to stimulating level, the pancreatic islets respond with a typical biphasic insulin secretion pattern.

A drug currently in clinical trials as a cancer therapy can also stimulate pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin, revealing a previously unknown mechanism for insulin regulation in type 2 diabetes, ...

A protein complex (Gbeta5-RGS) commonly known for halting cellular functions may actually stimulate insulin secretion in pancreatic cells, researchers have found. This discovery offers insights into ...

Composition of the diet of laboratory animals and the feeding practice influence their health, performance, and metabolism. Therefore, nutrition affects not only animal welfare but also experimental ...

Patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) have suboptimal secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes and experience a range of clinical symptoms related to the malabsorption of fat. In ...

When it comes to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), we could be doing a lot better. In many cases, EPI is not readily apparent, and diagnostic tests can be misapplied. This leads to invariable ...

What is the recommended management for a pancreatic fistula that develops after pancreatic necrosectomy (from the drain site)? The output is less than 500 mL. Pancreatic fistulae are the bane of the ...

Damaged pancreatic ducts that disrupt the normal communication between the pancreas and other organs in the body are responsible for causing a pancreatic fistula. An internal pancreatic fistula ...
