21. (Journal Article): Growth and function of the embryonic heart depend upon the cardiac-specific L-type calcium channel alpha1 subunit.

Rottbauer W, Baker K, Wo ZG, Mohideen MA, Cantiello HF, Fishman MC
 
ABSTRACT: The heart must function from the moment of its embryonic assembly, but the molecular underpinnings of the first heart beat are not known, nor whether function determines form at th...

22. (Journal Article): Sequence and expression of mRNAs encoding the alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits of a DHP-sensitive calcium channel.

Ellis SB, Williams ME, Ways NR, Brenner R, Sharp AH, Leung AT, Campbell KP, McKenna E, Koch WJ, Hui A
 
ABSTRACT: Complementary DNAs were isolated and used to deduce the primary structures of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits of the dihydropyridine-sensitive, voltage-dependent calcium channel f...

23. (Journal Article): Normalization of glucose concen-trations and deceleration of gastric emptying after solid meals during intravenous glucagon-like peptide 1 in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Meier JJ, Gallwitz B, Salmen S, Goetze O, Holst JJ, Schmidt WE, Nauck MA
 
ABSTRACT: The effects of different i.v. doses of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) on glucose homeostasis and gastric emptying were compared in patients with type 2 diabetes. Twelve patients w...

24. (Journal Article): Cell replacement therapy for type 1 diabetes.

Efrat S
 
ABSTRACT: Replacement of the insulin-producing pancreatic islet beta cells represents the ultimate treatment for type 1 diabetes. Recent advances in islet transplantation underscore the urge...

25. (Journal Article): Analysis of the VNTR locus D1S80 by the PCR fol-lowed by high-resolution PAGE.

Budowle B, Chakraborty R, Giusti AM, Eisenberg AJ, Allen RC
 
ABSTRACT: Allelic data for the D1S80 locus was obtained by using the PCR and subsequent analysis with a high-resolution, horizontal PAGE technique and silver staining. Compared with RFLP ana...

26. (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...

27. (Journal Article): Pancreatic Pseudocysts Following Acute Pancreatitis: Risk Factors Influencing Therapeutic Outcomes

Soliani P, Franzini C, Ziegler S, Del Rio P, Dell'Abate P, Piccolo D, Japichino GG, Cavestro GM, Di Mario F, Sianesi M
 
ABSTRACT: CONTEXT: The natural history of pancreatic pseudocysts has become well known in recent years, but the choice of a proper treatment still remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: This stud...

28. (Journal Article): C-peptide enhances insulin-mediated cell growth and protection against high glucose induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells.

Li Z-G, Zhang W, Sima AAF
 
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: We have previously reported that C-peptide exerts preventive and therapeutic effects on diabetic neuropathy in type 1 diabetic BB/Wor-rats and that it prevents duration...

29. (Journal Article): TNF-alpha acts to prevent occurrence of malformed fetuses in diabetic mice.

Torchinsky A, Gongadze M, Orenstein H, Savion S, Fein A, Toder V
 
ABSTRACT: AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Activation of apoptosis in embryos is thought to be a key event in the pathogenesis of diabetes-induced embryopathies such as early embryonic death and inborn stru...

30. (Journal Article): Diabetes-Induced Fetal Growth Retardation is Associated with Suppression of NF-κB Activity in Embryos

Mammon K, Keshet R, Savion S, Pekar O, Zaslavsky Z, Fein A, Toder V, Torchinsky A
 
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Mechanisms underlying diabetes-induced fetal growth retardation remain largely undefined. Two events such as the persistent activation of apoptosis or suppression of ce...
