Research reveals opposing roles for SNAP23 protein in the enzyme- and hormone-secretion functions of the pancreas; SNAP23 inhibitor increased insulin secretion in mice, suggesting potential use as a ...

GLP-1s are building a reputation as "wonder drugs." First characterized for their ability to improve insulin release and ...

When it comes to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), we could be doing a lot better. In many cases, EPI is not readily apparent, and diagnostic tests can be misapplied. This leads to invariable ...

MANY functional interrelations between stomach and pancreas are familiar and have been studied in many species. The endocrine secretion of insulin by beta cells of the islands of Langerhans is well ...

Composition of the diet of laboratory animals and the feeding practice influence their health, performance, and metabolism. Therefore, nutrition affects not only animal welfare but also experimental ...

Patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) have suboptimal secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes and experience a range of clinical symptoms related to the malabsorption of fat. In ...

A protein complex (Gbeta5-RGS) commonly known for halting cellular functions may actually stimulate insulin secretion in pancreatic cells, researchers have found. This discovery offers insights into ...

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is characterized by a deficiency of exocrine pancreatic enzymes, resulting in deficits in digestion of all macronutrients, with deficiencies in digestion of ...

Pancreatic fistulas result in fluid collections in a variety of body cavities, ranging from contained collections in the lesser sac, to ascites (from peritoneal involvement) and pericardial and ...
