1. 1. 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

3. 2. 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

4. 3. 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
