The autoregulation of insulin secretion in the isolated pancreatic islets of lean (obOb) and obese-hyperglycemic (obob) mice
The autoregulation of insulin secretion was studied using perifused and incubated pancreatic islets of normal (obOb) mice and of their obese-hyperglycemic (obob) littermates. Islets secreted more insulin when ...

Implantable artificial capillary unit for pancreatic islet allograft and xenograft
Implantable artificial capillary units containing approximately 1,200 allogeneic rat islets, or approximately 3,000 xenogeneic rabbit or human islets as an implantable artificial endocrine pancreas (IAEP) were...

Are the binding and degradation of low density lipoprotein altered in type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus?
Studies in vitro have shown that glycosylation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) will decrease its ability to bind to its receptor. We have evaluated the possibility that such an event might occur in vivo in di...

Insulin suppression of plasma-free fatty acid concentration in normal individuals and patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes
In order to define the effect of Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus on the ability of insulin to regulate plasma-free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations, we determined the plasma FFA response to the...

Relationship between glucose tolerance, insulin secretion, and insulin action in non-obese individuals with varying degrees of glucose tolerance
Plasma glucose and insulin concentration following a 75 g oral glucose challenge and glucose uptake during a hyperinsulinaemic glucose clamp study were determined in 50 non-obese individuals. The study populat...

Beta-cell hypersensitivity for glucose precedes loss of glucose-induced insulin secretion in 90% pancreatectomized rats
Glucose-induced insulin secretion is impaired in the presence of chronic hyperglycaemia. Insulin secretion was studied in a diabetic rat model prior to the beta cells becoming non-responsive to glucose in orde...

Effect of glipizide treatment on postprandial lipaemia in patients with NIDDM
The primary goal of the present study was to examine the effects of improved glycaemic control associated with glipizide treatment on postprandial lipaemia in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. The metab...

Lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus: an ideal persistent virus?
LDV contradicts all commonly held views about mechanisms of virus persistence, namely that persistence is primarily associated with noncytopathic viruses, or the selection of immune escape variants or other mu...

Macro-microangiopathy and endothelial dysfunction in NIDDM patients with and without diabetic nephropathy
The Steno hypothesis suggests that albuminuria reflects widespread vascular damage (proliferative retinopathy and severe macroangiopathy) due to a generalized vascular (endothelial) dysfunction. We assessed t...

Relationship between insulin-mediated glucose disposal and regulation of plasma and adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase
The relationship between insulin-mediated glucose disposal and fasting insulin and triglyceride (TG) concentrations, plasma post-heparin lipoprotein lipase (PH-LPL) activity and mass, and adipose tissue LPL a...

Rectal Immunization for Induction of Specific Antibody in the Genital Tract of Women
The purpose of the current study was to examine potential routes of vaccine administration for the induction of antigen-specific responses in the genital tract of women. Sixteen women were enrolled in this stu...

Evidence that insulin can directly inhibit hepatic glucose production
In order to evaluate the role of portal insulin in the modulation of hepatic glucose production (HGP), measurements of plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and both HGP and peripheral glucose disappearanc...

Influence of laser photocoagulation for clinically significant diabetic macular oedema (DMO) on short-wavelength and conventional automated perimetry
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of laser photocoagulation for clinically significant diabetic macular oedema (DMO) on macular visual function as assessed by conventional and short-wavelength ...

Visceral adipose tissue is not increased in Pima Indians compared with equally obese Caucasians and is not related to insulin action or secretion
Pima Indians are insulin resistant and hyperinsulinaemic compared with Caucasians. We investigated whether abdominal fat distribution was different between Pimas and Caucasians and whether differences in the ...
