Both Inceptor and the insulin receptor are located on the surface of beta cells, where Inceptor can block the insulin receptor, thus reducing the cells' insulin sensitivity and weakening the ...

Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it pertains to the pancreatic ß-cell is that the characteristic decreases in insulin synthesis and secretion are caused by decreased insulin gene expression.

Now, the researchers have unlocked another, even more significant function of the receptor: it binds insulin and directs its breakdown within beta cells. This discovery could lead to new ...

Increased levels of glucose in the circulation lead to increased glucose uptake into pancreatic beta ... the cell (2); and cell depolarization opens a calcium channel (3) which leads to insulin ...

In this type of diabetes, the immune system specifically destroys insulin-secreting beta cells in the pancreatic islets — the body's own immune system attacks its own cells (a form of autoimmune ...

Both Inceptor and the insulin receptor are located on the surface of beta cells, where Inceptor can block the insulin receptor, thus reducing the cells’ insulin sensitivity and weakening the ...
