22. (Journal Article): Pharmacochaperones post-translationally enhance cell surface expression by increasing conformational stability of wild-type and mutant vasopressin V2 receptors

Wuller S, Wiesner B, Loffler A, Furkert J, Krause G, Hermosilla R, Schaefer M, Schulein R, Rosenthal W, Oksche A
 
ABSTRACT: Some membrane-permeable antagonists restore cell surface expression of misfolded receptors retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are therefore termed pharmacochaperones. W...

23. (Journal Article): Differentiation of embryonic stem cells to insulin-secreting structures similar to pancreatic islets

Lumelsky N, Blondel O, Laeng P, Velasco I, Ravin R, McKay R
 
ABSTRACT: Although the source of embryonic stem (ES) cells presents ethical concerns, their use may lead to many clinical benefits if differentiated cell types can be derived from them and u...

24. (Journal Article): In vivo derivation of glucose-competent pancreatic endocrine cells from bone marrow without evidence of cell fusion.

Ianus A, Holz GG, Theise ND, Hussain MA
 
ABSTRACT: Bone marrow harbors cells that have the capacity to differentiate into cells of nonhematopoietic tissues of neuronal, endothelial, epithelial, and muscular phenotype. Here we demon...

25. (Journal Article): Glucagon-like peptides: regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Drucker DJ
 
ABSTRACT: Peptide hormones are secreted from endocrine cells and neurons and exert their actions through activation of G protein-coupled receptors to regulate a diverse number of physiologic...

26. (Journal Article): Effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (proglucagon 78-107amide) on hepatic glucose production in healthy man.

Hvidberg A, Nielsen MT, Hilsted J, 0rskov C, Holst JJ
 
ABSTRACT: The newly discovered intestinal hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (proglucagon 78-107amide), stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion in man and may ther...

27. (Journal Article): Glucagon-like peptide I analogues: effects on insulin secretion and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate formation.

Gefel D, Hendrick GK, Mojsov S, Habener J, Weir GE
 
ABSTRACT: Glucagon-like peptide 1-(7-37) [GLP-I-(7-37)] is a 31-amino acid hormone which may have an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion, It is processed from preproglucago...

28. (Journal Article): Biologieal effects and metabolic rates of glucagon-like peptide-1 7-36 amide and glucagon-like peptide-1 7-37 in healthy subjects are indistinguishable.

0rskov C, Wettergren A, Holst JJ
 
ABSTRACT: The biological effects and the metabolism of the intestinal hormone glucagonlike peptide-1 7-36 amide and glucagonlike peptide-1 7-37 were studied in normal healthy subjects. GLP-1...

29. (Journal Article): Regulation of transferrin receptor 2 by transferrin: diferric transferrin regulates transferrin receptor 2 protein stability

Johnson MB, Enns CA
 
ABSTRACT: Transferrin receptor 2 (TfR2) is a type-II transmembrane protein expressed in hepatocytes that binds iron-bound transferrin (Tf). Mutations in TfR2 cause one form of hereditary hem...

30. (Journal Article): Relation between the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene and protein expression, and clinical, biochemical, and genetic markers: age, body mass index and uric acid are independent predictors for an elevated TNF-alpha plasma level in a complex risk model

Schulz S, Schagdarsurengin U, Suss T, Mller-Werdan U, Werdan K, Glaser C
 
ABSTRACT: Background: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous complex diseases. The plasma level of this pro-inflammatory cytokine is asso...
