Physiological endocrine control of energy homeostasis and postprandial blood glucose levels
(Verduci Editore, 2005-12)
The aim of this review is to analyze the different components and the feedback mechanisms involved in the normal control of energy homeostasis and postprandial blood glucose levels. Such control involves exogenous and ...
Analysis and Design of a Microwave Coplanar Sensor for Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Measurements
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-09)
In this paper a design for a microwave sensor for the non-invasive measurement of blood glucose concentrations is proposed. The sensor is intended for usage as part of a non-invasive glucose-quantifying device. With this ...
Could post-weaning dietary chia seed mitigate the development of dyslipidemia, liver steatosis and altered glucose homeostasis in offspring exposed to a sucrose-rich diet from utero to adulthood?
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
The present work analyzes the effects of dietary chia seeds during postnatal life in offspring exposed to a sucrose-rich diet (SRD) from utero to adulthood. At weaning, chia seed (rich in α−linolenic acid) replaced corn ...
Interval Simulator of the Glucose-Insulin System
(Springer, 2019-10)
In this paper, an interval simulator that considers different sources of uncertainty to estimate the blood glucose level of type 1 diabetes patients is presented. In particular, this study examines a model that includes ...
Islet adaptive changes to fructose-induced insulin resistance: β-cell mass, glucokinase, glucose metabolism, and insulin secretion
(BioScientifica, 2009-02)
β-Cell mass, hexokinase/glucokinase (HK/GK) activity, glucose metabolism and insulin secretion were studied in the islets of rats with fructose-induced insulin resistance (IR). Normal male Wistar rats were fed a standard ...
Hindbrain Ghrelin Receptor Signaling Is Sufficient to Maintain Fasting Glucose
(Public Library of Science, 2012-08)
The neuronal coordination of metabolic homeostasis requires the integration of hormonal signals with multiple interrelated central neuronal circuits to produce appropriate levels of food intake, energy expenditure and fuel ...
Hypothalamic POMC Deficiency Improves Glucose Tolerance Despite Insulin Resistance by Increasing Glycosuria
(American Diabetes Association, 2016-03)
Hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is essential for the physiological regulation of energy balance; however, its role in glucose homeostasis remains less clear. We show that hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc)POMC-deficient ...
Regulation of liver glucokinase activity in rats with fructose-induced insulin resistance and impaired glucose and lipid metabolism
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2009-09)
We evaluated the relative role of different regulatory mechanisms, particularly 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase (PFK2/FBPase-2), in liver glucokinase (GK) activity in intact animals with fructose-induced ...
Automatic regulatory control in type 1 diabetes without carbohydrate counting
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-05)
A new approach to automatically regulate the glucose level in type 1 diabetes is presented in this work. This is the so-called Automatic Regulation of Glucose (ARG) algorithm, which is based on a switched Linear Quadratic ...
Ghrelin directly stimulates glucagon secretion from pancreatic α-cells
(Oxford University Press, 2011-09)
Previous work has demonstrated that the peptide hormone ghrelin raises blood glucose. Such has been attributed to ghrelin's ability to enhance GH secretion, restrict insulin release, and/or reduce insulin sensitivity. ...
