Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Leptin suppression of insulin secretion and gene expression in human pancreatic islets: implications for the development of adipogenic diabetes mellitus.
- The homeodomain protein IDX-1 increases after an early burst of proliferation during pancreatic regeneration.
- cAMP-dependent mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores by activation of ryanodine receptors in pancreatic beta-cells. A Ca2+ signaling system stimulated by the insulinotropic hormone glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-37).
- CHOP/GADD153 and methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) genes overlap in a conserved region that controls mRNA stability.
- Glucagon gene transcription activation mediated by synergistic interactions of pax-6 and cdx-2 with the p300 co-activator.
- CHOP enhancement of gene transcription by interactions with Jun/Fos AP-1 complex proteins.
- Developmental expression of the homeodomain protein IDX-1 in mice transgenic for an IDX-1 promoter/lacZ transcriptional reporter.
- Defective mutations in the insulin promoter factor-1 (IPF-1) gene in late-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Bridge-1, a novel PDZ-domain coactivator of E2A-mediated regulation of insulin gene transcription.
- Exendin-4 stimulates both beta-cell replication and neogenesis, resulting in increased beta-cell mass and improved glucose tolerance in diabetic rats.
- Keratin 10 gene expression during differentiation of mouse epidermis requires transcription factors C/EBP and AP-2.
- The glucagon-like peptides.
- The adipoinsular axis: effects of leptin on pancreatic beta-cells.
- Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide gene expression regulated by a testis-specific promoter in germ cells during spermatogenesis.
- Insulinotropic glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists stimulate expression of homeodomain protein IDX-1 and increase islet size in mouse pancreas.

Aldosterone FunctionAdrenal glandsOn top of each kidney lies the adrenal gland. The gland is made of an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine are produced by the inner layer. The other layer is the steroid producing layer which is the outer cortex. Mineralocorticoids...
