1. (Journal Article): Glucose intolerance but normal satiety in mice with a null mutation in the gluca-gon-like peptide 1 receptor gene.

Scrocchi LA, Brown TJ, MaClusky N, Brubaker PL, Auerbach AB, Joyner AL, Drucker DJ
 
ABSTRACT: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) is postulated to regulate blood glucose and satiety, but the biological importance of GLP1 as an incretin and neuropeptide remains controversal. The ...

2. (Journal Article): Association of adiponectin mutation with type 2 diabetes: a candidate gene for the insulin resistance syndrome

Kondo H, Shimomura I, Matsukawa Y, Kumada M, Takahashi M, Matsuda M, Ouchi N, Kihara S, Kawamoto T, Sumitsuji S, Funahashi T, Matsuzawa Y
 
ABSTRACT: Adiponectin, also referred to as AdipoQ or ACRP30, is a plasma protein produced and secreted exclusively from adipose tissue. The protein contains a collagen-like domain and a C1q-...

Moczulski DK, Grzeszczak W, Gawlik B
 
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: In patients with clinical hemochromatosis, the frequency of diabetes ranges from 20 to 50%, and the heterozygosity for the C282Y mutation in the HFE gene might be associ...

4. (Journal Article): Genetic variation in the gene encoding calpain-10 is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT: Type 2 or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is the most common form of diabetes worldwide, affecting approximately 4% of the world's adult population. It is multifact...

5. (Journal Article): Intracellular magnesium and insulin resistance

Takaya J, Higashino H, Kobayashi Y
 
ABSTRACT: Magnesium, the second most abundant intracellular divalent cation, is a cofactor of many enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. Magnesium has an important role in insulin action, ...

6. (Journal Article): Albumin excretion in diabetic patients in the setting of acute myocardial infarction: association with 3-year mortality

Berton G, Cordiano R, Palmieri R, De Toni R, Guarnieri GL, Palatini P
 
ABSTRACT: AIMS/HYPOTHESIS. Diabetes mellitus is associated with increased mortality in subjects with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to estimate the risk of mortality in AMI pati...

7. (Journal Article): Evidence for the impairment of the vitamin D activation pathway by cyclosporine A.

Grenet O, Bobadilla M, Chibout SD, Steiner S
 
ABSTRACT: Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a potent immunosuppressant with the drawback of renal side effects. We reported that CsA markedly decreases calcium-binding protein calbindin-D28k mRNA leve...
