161. (Journal Article): Acid beta-galactosidase: a developmentally regulated marker of endocrine cell precursors in the human fetal pancreas.

Beattie GM, Levine F, Mally MI, Otonkoski T, O'Brien JS, Salomon DR, Hayek A
 
ABSTRACT: Isolation of endocrine cell precursors from the human fetal pancreas will be important to the study of islet cytodifferentiation and eventually for islet transplantation in insulin...

162. (Journal Article): Insulin-Producing Cells from Tissue Stem/Progenitor Cells: Are Autologous Cells Preferable to Allogeneic?

Efrat S
 
ABSTRACT: Type 1 diabetes is caused by autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic islet insulin-producing β-cells. Insulin administration does not prevent long-term complications of the disea...

163. (Journal Article): Accelerated telomere shortening and senescence in human pancreatic islet cells stimulated to divide in vitro.

Halvorsen TL, Beattie GM, Lopez AD, Hayek A, Levine F
 
ABSTRACT: Widespread application of beta-cell replacement strategies for diabetes is dependent upon the availability of an unlimited supply of cells exhibiting appropriate glucose-responsive...

164. (Journal Article): The efficacy of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. (silymarin) in the treatment of type II diabetes: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial.

Huseini HF, Larijani B, Heshmat R, Fakhrzadeh H, Radjabipour B, Toliat T, Raza M.
 
ABSTRACT: Oxidative stresses are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications which may either cause direct pancreatic beta-cell damage or lead to metabolic abnormal...

165. (Journal Article): Existence of Islet Regenerating Factors within the Pancreas

Kanitkar M, Bhonde R
 
ABSTRACT: Reduction in the functional mass of beta-cells is a common denominator in most forms of diabetes. Since the replicative potential of beta-cells is limited, the search for factors t...

166. (Journal Article): Genetically engineered pancreatic beta-cell lines for cell therapy of diabetes.

Efrat S
 
ABSTRACT: The optimal treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), which is caused by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells, would require the regulated deliv...

167. (Journal Article): Proteomic Identification and Immunolocalization of Increased Renal Calbindin-D28k Expression in OVE26 Diabetic Mice

Thongboonkerd V, Zheng S, McLeish KR, Epstein PN, Klein JB
 
ABSTRACT: Diabetic nephropathy is a common diabetic complication that is associated with alterations in the expression of several renal proteins and abnormal calcium homeostasis. We performe...

168. (Journal Article): Differential Postprandial Lipoprotein Responses in Type 2 Diabetic Men with and without Clinical Evidence of a Former Myocardial Infarction

Carstensen M, Thomsen C, Gotzsche O, Holst JJ, Schrezenmeir J, Hermansen K
 
ABSTRACT: Postprandial lipemia plays an important role in the development of coronary heart disease through an elevation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. In type 2 diabetic male subjects, ...

169. (Journal Article): Involvement of Oxidative Stress and the JNK Pathway in Glucose Toxicity

Kaneto H, Nakatani Y, Kawamori D, Miyatsuka T, Matsuoka T
 
ABSTRACT: The hallmark of type 2 diabetes is pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Normal beta-cells can compensate for insulin resistance by increasing insulin secretion,...

170. (Journal Article): Inducton of islet cytodifferentiation by fetal mesenchyme in adult pancreatic ductal epithelium.

Dudek RW, Lawrence IE, Hill RS, Johnson RC
 
ABSTRACT: Recombinant tissue consisting of adult ductal epithelium isolated from pancreas and fetal mesenchyme was transplanted subcutaneously in the inguinal region of nude mice or epididym...
