چکیده

Amylase activity and mRNA abundance are reduced to less than 1% of normal levels in diabetic rat pancreas. Administration of vanadate in drinking water restored normal amylase activity and amylase mRNA levels. These results demonstrate an effect of vanadate on pancreatic acinar cells and suggest that vanadate can mimic the effect of insulin on transcription of the pancreatic amylase gene.

Effects of age on diabetes- and insulin-induced changes in pancreatic levels of alpha-amylase and its mRNA.

During aging, protein synthesis undergoes decremental changes in many organs and tissues. In the pancreas, as well as in other exocrine glands, the rate of protein synthesis declines with age. However, it is unknown whether this decline is related to intrinsic aging changes which affect the secretory cell function. In this study, we compared the ability of pancreatic acinar cells to synthesize ...

The Effect of Exercise Training Intensity and Alpha-Lipoic Acid Supplement on IAPP Gene Expression in the Pancreas in Type 2 Diabetic

Background: The formation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) have been proposed for d increased b-cell apoptosis in type 2 diabetes. Exercise training plays a protective role against diabetes. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful biological antioxidant. However, the role of exercise training and ALA on IAPP are not well understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of...
