Hypoglycemia after gastric bypass: an old problem resurfaces.

et al. Severe hypoglycaemia post-gastric bypass requiring partial pancreatectomy: evidence for inappropriate insulin secretion and pancreatic islet hyperplasia. Effects of ingestion of hyper-osmotic glucose solution on the splanchnic circulation in normal subjects and in partially gastrectomized patients reacting with circulatory collapse. glucose to lerance, insulin response, and insulin sensi...

Toxic introns and parasitic intein in Coxiella burnetii: legacies of a promiscuous past.

The genome of the obligate intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii contains a large number of selfish genetic elements, including two group I introns (Cbu.L1917 and Cbu.L1951) and an intervening sequence that interrupts the 23S rRNA gene, an intein (Cbu.DnaB) within dnaB and 29 insertion sequences. Here, we describe the ability of the intron-encoded RNAs (ribozymes) to retard bacterial growth ...

Effects of toxic environmental contaminants on voltage-gated calcium channel function: from past to present.

Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are targets of the number of naturally occurring toxins, therapeutic agents as well as environmental toxicants. Because of similarities of their chemical structure to Ca2+ in terms of hydrated ionic radius, electron orbital configuration, or other chemical properties, polyvalent cations from aluminum to zinc variously interact with multiple types of voltage-gated Ca2...
