Aims/hypothesisType 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by a progressive loss of beta-cell function, and the “disappearance” beta-cells in T2D may also be caused process beta -cell dedifferentiation. Since noradrenergic innervation inhibits insulin secretion density fibers increased type mouse models, we aimed to study relation between islet innervation, dedifferentiation function humans.MethodsU...

For the first time, a patient with asymptomatic QT interval prolongation was found to carry missense mutation c.277G>A (p.Val93Ile) in KCNJ2 gene, described previously only as cause of familial form atrial fibrillation. The corresponding amino acid substitution introduced into plasmid encoding Kir2.1 channel and mutant gene expressed Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) evaluate effect on IK1 c...
