Upregulation of alpha cell glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) in Psammomys obesus—an adaptive response to hyperglycaemia?
The hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is released in response to a meal from the intestinal L-cells, where it is processed from proglucagon by the proconvertase (PC)1/3. In contrast, in the adult islets ...

Open AccessTreatment with a proton pump inhibitor improves glycaemic control in Psammomys obesus, a model of type 2 diabetes
Gastrin has been implicated in islet growth/neogenesis, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been shown to increase endogenous gastrin levels in animals and humans. Therefore, we investigated the effect of P...

Reduction of beta cell mass: partial insulin secretory compensation from the residual beta cell population in the nicotinamide–streptozotocin Göttingen minipig after oral glucose in vivo and in the perfused pancreas
A progressive loss of beta cell function and mass are important contributory factors in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a primary reduct...

Changes in expression of IL-1β influenced proteins in transplanted islets during development of diabetes in diabetes-prone BB rats
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial autoimmune disease characterised by selective destruction of beta cells in the islets of Langerhans. We have previously shown that IL-1β modulates beta cell functio...

Loss of beta-cell mass leads to a reduction of pulse mass with normal periodicity, regularity and entrainment of pulsatile insulin secretion in Göttingen minipigs
Type 2 diabetes is associated with impaired insulin action and secretion, including disturbed pulsatile release. Impaired pulsatility has been related to impaired insulin action, thus providing a possible link...

Reduction of diabetes incidence of BB Wistar rats by early prophylactic insulin treatment of diabetes-prone animals
A group of 36 diabetes-prone BB Wistar rats were given prophylactic insulin treatment with heat-treated bovine ultralente insulin (15 IU · kg−1 · day−1) from 50 to 142 days of age. The incidence of Type 1 (insuli...

Dynamics of sulfonylurea-induced insulin release from the isolated perfused rat pancreas
In the isolated perfused rat pancreas various sulfonylurea drugs were tested with a basal glucose level of 1 mg/ml in the perfusion buffer and were found to cause a biphasic insulin response. NOVO CS 476, a ne...
