Lipid biosynthesis enzyme Agpat5 in AgRP-neurons is required for insulin-induced hypoglycemia sensing and glucagon secretion

The counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia that restores normal blood glucose levels is an essential physiological function. It is initiated, in large part, by incompletely characterized brain hypoglycemia sensing neurons that trigger the secretion of ...

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells derived from porcine exocrine pancreas improve insulin secretion from juvenile porcine islet cell clusters.

Sandrine Gerber, Luca Szabó, Léo Bühler

Neonatal and juvenile porcine islet cell clusters (ICC) present an unlimited source for islet xenotransplantation to treat type 1 diabetes patients. We isolated ICC from pancreata of 14 days old juvenile piglets and characterized their maturation by immuno ...

In pancreatic islets from type 2 diabetes patients, the dampened circadian oscillators lead to reduced insulin and glucagon exocytosis

Daniel Sage

Circadian clocks operative in pancreatic islets participate in the regulation of insulin secretion in humans and, if compromised, in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in rodents. Here we demonstrate that human islet alpha- and beta-cells that bear a ...

Metabolic and perfusion responses to acute hypoglycemia in the rat cortex: A non-invasive magnetic resonance approach

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

Hypoglycemia is critical condition during diabetic treatment that involves intensive insulin therapy, and it may impair brain function. We aimed to compare cortical responses of three hypoglycemic phases and the restoration of glycemia to control levels af ...

Glycogen metabolism is impaired in the brain of male type 2 diabetic Goto‐Kakizaki rats

João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares

Diabetes impacts the central nervous system predisposing to cognitive decline. While glucose is the main source of energy fueling the adult brain, brain glycogen is necessary for adequate neuronal function, synaptic plasticity and memory. In this study, we ...

A high sensitivity low-power capacitive front-end for insulin injection pens

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Jean-Baptiste Robert Orhan, François Pierre Gaugaz

A low-power 14-bits first order incremental Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is presented. Based on the charge balancing principle, this switched-capacitor (SC) circuit integrates the input signal multiple times to reach the targeted resolution, linearity ...

Modeling and performance investigation of insulin injection pen for diabetic persons

Catherine Dehollain, Maria-Alexandra Paun

This paper is focused on modeling and performance investigation of insulin injection pens used by diabetic persons. A smart pen cap with two electrodes is used as a capacitive sensor for insulin dose detection and is presented in details. To faithfully ana ...

Three-Dimensional Model and Evaluation of an Insulin Injection Pen for Precise Dose Capacitive Measurement

Catherine Dehollain, Maria-Alexandra Paun, Jean-Baptiste Robert Orhan

A fully parameterized three-dimensional model with specific dimensions has been developed in ANSYS for an insulin injection pen used by diabetic persons. The insulin injection pen has a smart pen cap which hosts four electrodes used for the smart pen cap e ...

Sorbitol Demineralization by Ion Exchange

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol commonly known as D-glucitol. It is synthesized from glucose by a reduction reaction altering the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. The body slowly metabolizes sorbitol, minimizing the possibility of increasing the insulin lev ...

The NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase SIRT2 attenuates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction and improves insulin sensitivity in hepatocytes

Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva

Insulin resistance is a major predictor of the development of metabolic disorders. Sirtuins (SIRTs) have emerged as potential targets that can be manipulated to counteract age-related diseases, including type 2 diabetes. SIRT2 has been recently shown to ex ...
