  1. 1. Evaluation of an equine-optimized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the determination of serum insulin in canine and feline samples

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Ylva Moberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Cross-reactivity; hypoglycaemia; immunoassay; insulinoma; validation;

    Abstract : Background: Insulin is an important hormone for glucose homeostasis. It is released from β-cells in the endocrine pancreas as a response to increased concentrations of plasma glucose. The major effect of insulin is the facilitation of cellular uptake and storage of glucose as glycogen. READ MORE

  3. 2. Do Serglycin Related Alterations of Thrombocytes and Myeloid Cells Affect Tumor Progression and Behavior

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Kjersti Marie Hjelle; [2015]
    Keywords : Serglycin; Thrombocytes; Cancer; Spontaneous Insulinoma; RIP1-Tag2; Myeloid cells; Macrophages; Flowcytometri; FACS; CD115; CD31; CD11b; Gr-1; Ly-6G;

    Abstract : Investigation of tumor growth has traditionally been studied focusing only on the cancer cells. However, tumors consist of a complex tissue organization where heterotypic signaling occurs between different cell types. READ MORE

  4. 3. Role of TRPV1 channel and P2Y1 receptor in Ca2+ signalling in β-cells : A study by single cell microfluorometry

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Kalaiselvan Krishnan; [2011]
    Keywords : Insulin exocytosis; P2Y1; tolbutamide; ADPr; microfluorometry; Islets of langerhans; β-cells; calcium signaling; signal transduction.;

    Abstract : Increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the β-cells triggers insulin exocytosis. Among the Ca2+ channels present in the plasma membrane, the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels receptors are currently of great interest. READ MORE

  5. 4. A study of TRPV1 and TRPV4 ion channels in the beta cells by using fura-2 based microfluorometry.

    University essay from Akademin för hållbar samhälls- och teknikutveckling

    Author : Banina Hadrovic; [2009]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is an important ion that regulates many cellular functions including exocytosis, contraction of muscles, neural functions, fertilization and cell division. In the plasma membrane of cells there are different Ca2+ channels, including the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels. READ MORE

  6. 5. Heat-sensitive TRP channels detected in pancreatic beta cells by microfluorometry and western blot

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Kristina Kannisto; [2007]
    Keywords : Diabetes; TRP; Capsaicin; Capsazepine; Insulin; Ca2 signalling; Ruthenium red;

    Abstract : Background and aim: The calcium ion (Ca2+) is an important ion involved in intracellular signalling. An increase in the free intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) is essential for triggering insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. READ MORE
