Reduced Insulin Secretion in Protein Malnourished Mice Is Associated with Multiple Changes in the beta-Cell Stimulus-Secretion Coupling
(Endocrine Soc, 2010-08-01)
The mechanism by which protein malnutrition impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in the pancreatic beta-cell is not completely known but may be related to alterations in the signaling events involved in insulin ...
Nectar Replaced by Volatile Secretion: A Potential New Role for Nectarless Flowers in a Bee-Pollinated Plant Species
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2018-09-05)
The presence of nectarless flowers in nectariferous plants is a widespread phenomenon in angiosperms. However, the frequency and distribution of nectarless flowers in natural populations, and the transition from nectariferous ...
Interaction with calmodulin is important for the secretion of thimet oligopeptidase following stimulation
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
Thimet oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.24.15; EP24.15) was originally described as a neuropeptide-metabolizing enzyme, highly expressed in the brain, kidneys and neuroendocrine tissue. EP24.15 lacks a typical signal peptide sequence ...
Development of the insulin secretion mechanism in fetal and neonatal rat pancreatic B-cells: response to glucose, K+, theophylline, and carbamylcholine
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 1998-06-01)
We studied the development of the insulin secretion mechanism in the pancreas of fetal (19- and 21-day-old), neonatal (3-day-old), and adult (90-day-old) rats in response to stimulation with 8.3 or 16.7 mM glucose, 30 mM ...

(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 1991-01-01)
Baccharus triptera Mart, is a widespread Compositae usedin Brazilian folk medicine to treat gastrointestinal disturbances, rheumatic disease, mild fever, diabetes and as an anti-helminthic. Water extract of small branches ...
The Salivary Gland Secretions Of A Neotropical Bumblebee
(Springer-Verlag, 1979)
Okadaic acid inhibits angiotensin II, adrenocorticotropin and potassium-dependent aldosterone secretion
(2002)
The present study was designed to assess the effect of okadaic acid (OA), a protein phosphatase inhibitor, on aldosterone secretion in response to angiotensin II (AII), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and rises in external ...
The inguinal macroglands of the frog Physalaemus nattereri (Leptodactylidae): structure, toxic secretion and relationship with deimatic behaviour
(Cambridge University Press, 2005-08-01)
Amphibian skin is characterized by the presence of mucous glands, related to cutaneous breathing, reproduction and water balance, and granular glands, related to the production of toxins used in defence. In some species ...
