Pancreatic regulation of glucose homeostasis
In order to ensure normal body function, the human body is dependent on a tight control of its blood glucose levels. This is accomplished by a highly sophisticated network of various hormones and neuropeptides released mainly from the brain, pancreas, liver, intestine as well as adipose and muscle tissue. Within this network, the pancreas represents a key player by secreting the blood sugar-low...
متن کاملNeural regulation of glucose homeostasis.
The regulation of blood glucose is generally stated to be under the control of the endocrine system. But the endocrine secretion is itself regulated by the central nervous system, especially the hypothalamus. The brain can sense the energy status of the body by using neural afferent signals and metabolic cues such as glucose. A variety of experimental evidences have been put forth to support th...
متن کاملRegulation of glucose homeostasis by GLP-1.
Glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36)amide (GLP-1) is a secreted peptide that acts as a key determinant of blood glucose homeostasis by virtue of its abilities to slow gastric emptying, to enhance pancreatic insulin secretion, and to suppress pancreatic glucagon secretion. GLP-1 is secreted from L cells of the gastrointestinal mucosa in response to a meal, and the blood glucose-lowering action of GLP-1...
متن کاملActivation of α2 adrenoceptor attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced hepatic injury.
Sepsis induces hepatic injury but whether alpha-2 adrenoceptor (α2-AR) modulates the severity of sepsis-induced liver damage remains unclear. The present study used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce hepatic injury and applied α2-AR agonist dexmedetomidine (DEX) and/or antagonist yohimbine to investigate the contribution of α2-AR in LPS-induced liver injury. Our results showed that LPS resulted...
متن کاملPrevention of neutrophil extravasation by α2-adrenoceptor-mediated endothelial stabilization.
Adrenergic receptors are expressed on the surface of inflammation-mediating cells, but their potential role in the regulation of the inflammatory response is still poorly understood. The objectives of this work were to study the effects of α2-adrenergic agonists on the inflammatory response in vivo and to determine their mechanism of action. In two mouse models of inflammation, zymosan air pouc...
