What is the role of insulin in the body? Insulin is a hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas and helps regulate glucose in the bloodstream. After eating a meal, carbohydrates break down into glucose, which acts as the primary source of energy for the body. Glucose enters the...
Role of gastric blood flow, neutrophil infiltration, and mucosal cell proliferation in gastric adaptation to aspirin in the rat. In this study, acute gastric lesions were produced by single or repeated doses of acidified aspirin in rats with intact or resected salivary glands and ... SJ Kontur...
a"Insulin is important in the body for controlling blood sugar, but it may play a different role in the brain, where insulin appears to disturb memory and learning," Gomez-Pinilla said.[translate]

These observations raise hypotheses about a role for the genetic mechanisms underlying sex differences in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis as measured by FG and fasting insulin (FI). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have thus far been instrumental in the identification of dozens of FG/...
Analysis of the glucokinase gene promoter in Japanese subjects with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus Glucokinase plays an important role in glucose metabolism in pancreatic beta-cells and liver. Recently, several mutations responsible for noninsulin-depend... K, Shimokawa,H, Sakura,S, Otabe,.....
Hence, a role of the GH-IGF system on precursor LC differentiation has been proposed (14). Furthermore, even though GH receptor (GHR) mRNA expression has been detected in human testicular tissue (15), its immunolocalization in human prepubertal testis has not been determined. In addition, it...
Evidence for a role of the type III-iodothyronine deiodinase in the regulation of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine content in the human central nervous system Thyroid hormone is essential for maintaining normal neurological functions both during development and in adult life. Type III-iodothyronine deiodinase ...
Insulin- like growth factor 2 ( IGF 2 ) gene plays an important role in the development of skeletal muscle. 胰岛素样生长因子2 ( IGF2 ) 基因对骨骼肌的生长发育起着非常重要的调控作用. 期刊摘选 China was the first country in the world to synthesize crystallineinsulin, a bioactive protein. ...
Sex hormones also play a role in the metabolic alterations associated with the risk for cardiovascular disease. A reduction in sex hormone—binding globulin (SHBG) may be predictive of future NIDDM particularly in women. The postmenopausal decline in estrogen is also associated with an increase in ...
