2. (Journal Article): A role for glucagon-like peptide-1 in the central regula-tion of feeding.

Turton MD, O'Shea D, Gunn I, Beak SA, Edwards CM, Meeran K, Choi SJ, Taylor GM, Heath MM, Lambert PD, Wilding JP, Smith DM, Ghatei MA, Herbert J, Bloom SR
 
ABSTRACT: The sequence of glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1) is completely conserved in all mammalian species studied, implying that it plays a critical physiological role. We have...

3. (Journal Article): TGF-beta-dependent mechanisms mediate restoration of self-tolerance induced by antibodies to CD3 in overt autoimmune diabetes.

Belghith M, Bluestone JA, Barriot S, Megret J, Bach JF, Chatenoud L
 
ABSTRACT: CD3-specific antibodies have the unique capacity to restore self-tolerance in established autoimmunity. They induce long-term remission of overt diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD)...

4. (Journal Article): Oral tolerance: immune mechanisms and the generation of Th3-type TGF-beta-secreting regulatory cells.

Weiner HL
 
ABSTRACT: Oral tolerance is a long recognized method to induce peripheral immune tolerance. Oral tolerance has been used successfully to treat animal models of autoimmune diseases and is bei...

5. (Journal Article): Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus as an autoimmune disease.

Bach JF
 
ABSTRACT: IDDM is unquestionably an autoimmune disease, as reflected by the presence of beta-cell-reactive autoantibodies and T cells, T cell-mediated transfer of the disease in nondiabetic ...

6. (Journal Article): Global burden of diabetes, 1995-2025: prevalence, numerical estimates, and projections

King H, Aubert RE, Herman WH
 
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of diabetes and the number of people with diabetes who are > or =20 years of age in all countries of the world for three points in time, i....

7. (Journal Article): Maternally transmitted diabetes and deafness associated with a 10.4 kb mitochondrial DNA deletion

Ballinger SW, Shoffner JM, Hedaya EV, Trounce I, Polak MA, Koontz DA, Wallace DC
 
ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic disorders of children and adults. Several reports have suggested an increased incidence of maternal transmission in some fo...

8. (Journal Article): The immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome (IPEX) is caused by mutations of FOXP3.

Bennett CL, Christie J, Ramsdell F, Brunkow ME, Ferguson PJ, Whitesell L, Kelly TE, Saulsbury FT, Chance PF, Ochs HD
 
ABSTRACT: IPEX is a fatal disorder characterized by immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy and X-linked inheritance (MIM 304930). We present genetic evidence that different mu...

9. (Journal Article): Disruption of a new forkhead/winged-helix protein, scurfin, results in the fatal lymphoproliferative disorder of the scurfy mouse.

Brunkow ME, Jeffery EW, Hjerrild KA, Paeper B, Clark LB, Yasayko SA, Wilkinson JE, Galas D, Ziegler SF, Ramsdell F
