The study is designed to find out the biochemical basis of antidiabetic property of Symplocos cochinchinensis (SC), the main ingredient of ‘Nisakathakadi’ an Ayurvedic decoction for diabetes. Since diabetes is a multifactorial disease, ethanolic extract of the bark (SCE) and its fractions (hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and 90% ethanol) were evaluated by in vitro methods against multiple targets relevant to diabetes such as the alpha glucosidase inhibition, glucose uptake, adipogenic potential, oxidative stress, pancreatic beta cell proliferation, inhibition of protein glycation, protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B) and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV). Among the extracts, SCE exhibited comparatively better activity like alpha glucosidase inhibition (IC50 value-82.07±2.10 µg/mL), insulin dependent glucose uptake (3 fold increase) in L6 myotubes, pancreatic beta cell regeneration in RIN-m5F (3.5 fold increase) and reduced triglyceride accumulation (22% decrease) in 3T3L1 cells, protection from hyperglycemia induced generation of reactive oxygen species in HepG2 cells (59.57% decrease) with moderate antiglycation and PTP-1B inhibition. Chemical characterization by HPLC revealed the superiority of SCE over other extracts due to presence and quantity of bioactives (beta-sitosterol, phloretin 2′glucoside, oleanolic acid) in addition to minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, zinc and manganese. So SCE has been subjected to oral sucrose tolerance test to evaluate its antihyperglycemic property in mild diabetic and diabetic animal models. SCE showed significant antihyperglycemic activity in in vivo diabetic models. We conclude that SC mediates the antidiabetic activity mainly via alpha glucosidase inhibition, improved insulin sensitivity, with moderate antiglycation and antioxidant activity.  相似文献

Relatively little is known about the in vivo functions of the alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein Gz (Galphaz). Clues to one potential function recently emerged with the finding that activation of Galphaz inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in an insulinoma cell line (Kimple, M. E., Nixon, A. B., Kelly, P., Bailey, C. L., Young, K. H., Fields, T. A., and Casey, P. J. (2005) J. Biol. Chem. 280, 31708-31713). To extend this study in vivo, a Galphaz knock-out mouse model was utilized to determine whether Galphaz function plays a role in the inhibition of insulin secretion. No differences were discovered in the gross morphology of the pancreatic islets or in the islet DNA, protein, or insulin content between Galphaz-null and wild-type mice. There was also no difference between the insulin sensitivity of Galphaz-null mice and wild-type controls, as measured by insulin tolerance tests. Galphaz-null mice did, however, display increased plasma insulin concentrations and a corresponding increase in glucose clearance following intraperitoneal and oral glucose challenge as compared with wild-type controls. The increased plasma insulin observed in Galphaz-null mice is most likely a direct result of enhanced insulin secretion, since pancreatic islets isolated from Galphaz-null mice exhibited significantly higher glucose-stimulated insulin secretion than those of wild-type mice. Finally, the increased insulin secretion observed in Galphaz-null islets appears to be due to the relief of a tonic inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, as cAMP production was significantly increased in Galphaz-null islets in the absence of exogenous stimulation. These findings indicate that Galphaz may be a potential new target for therapeutics aimed at ameliorating beta-cell dysfunction in Type 2 diabetes.  相似文献

5rolGLP-HV is a promising dual-function peptide for the treatment of diabetes and thrombosis simultaneously. For investigating the therapeutic mechanism of 5rolGLP-HV for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), STZ-induced diabetic mice were established and treated with 5rolGLP-HV. The results showed that daily water and food intake, blood glucose, serum and pancreatic insulin levels significantly decreased after 5rolGLP-HV treatment with various oral concentrations, and 16 mg/kg was the optimal dose for controlling diabetes. 5rolGLP-HV treatment decreased the MDA levels and the T-SOD activity in serum and pancreatic of diabetic mice (but not up to significant difference), and significantly increased the expression of signal pathways related genes of rolGLP-1, also the density of insulin expression and the numbers of apoptosis cells in islets of diabetic mice were significantly decreased in comparison to the negative diabetic mice. These effects above may be clarified the hypoglycemic mechanisms of 5rolGLP-HV, and 5rolGLP-HV may be as a potential drug for diabetes in future.  相似文献

Low-dose-rate radiation modulates various biological responses including carcinogenesis, immunological responses and diabetes. We found that continuous irradiation with low-dose-rate gamma rays ameliorated type II diabetes in db/db mice, diabetic mice that lack leptin receptors. Whole-body exposure of db/db mice to low dose-rate gamma radiation improved glucose clearance without affecting the response to insulin. Histological studies suggested that degeneration of pancreatic islets was significantly suppressed by the radiation. Insulin secretion in response to glucose loading was increased significantly in the irradiated mice. These results suggest that low-dose-rate gamma radiation ameliorates type II diabetes by maintaining insulin secretion, which gradually decreases during the progression of diabetes due to degeneration of pancreatic islets. We also inferred that protection from oxidative damage is involved in the anti-diabetic effect of low-dose-rate gamma rays because expression and activity of pancreatic superoxide dismutase were significantly elevated by low-dose-rate gamma radiation.  相似文献

Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease that results in destructive depletion of the insulin-producing beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in pancreas. With the knowledge that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent survival factor for a wide variety of cells, we hypothesized that supplementation of HGF may provide a novel strategy for protecting pancreatic beta cells from destructive death and for preserving insulin production. In this study, we demonstrate that expression of the exogenous HGF gene preserved insulin excretion and mitigated hyperglycemia of diabetic mice induced by streptozotocin. Blood glucose levels were significantly reduced in mice receiving a single intravenous injection of naked HGF gene at various time points after streptozotocin administration. Consistently, HGF concomitantly increased serum insulin levels in diabetic mice. Immunohistochemical staining revealed a marked preservation of insulin-producing beta cells by HGF in the pancreatic islets of the diabetic mice. This beneficial effect of HGF was apparently mediated by both protection of beta cells from death and promotion of their proliferation. Delivery of HGF gene in vivo induced pro-survival Akt kinase activation and Bcl-xL expression in the pancreatic islets of diabetic mice. These findings suggest that supplementation of HGF to prevent beta cells from destructive depletion and to promote their proliferation might be an effective strategy for ameliorating type I diabetes.  相似文献

The present study was designed to explore the mechanism of action of walnut (the seed of Juglans regia) leaf and ridge on hepatic glucose metabolism in diabetic mice. Experimental diabetes was induced by intravenous administration of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg)and confirmed with an increase of blood glucose, 90–100% of the control, 72 hours later. Isolated extracts from walnut leaf and ridges were administered in a single effective dose of 400 mg/kg orally. Firstly, blood glucose was determined every 1 hour until 5 hours post administration of extracts. In the second experiment, the liver was surgically removed, 2 hours post treatment of diabetic animals with extracts, homogenized and used for measurement of key enzymes of glycogenolysis (glycogen phosphorylase, GP) and gluconeogenesis (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, PEPCK). Treatment by both leaf and ridge extracts decreased blood glucose and liver PEPCK activity and increased blood insulin and liver GP activity. It is concluded that walnut is able to lower blood glucose through inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis and secretion of pancreatic insulin.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of balanced deep-sea water (BDSW) on hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. BDSW was prepared by mixing DSW mineral extracts and desalinated water to yield a final hardness of 1000–4000 ppm. Male ICR mice were assigned to 6 groups; mice in each group were given tap water (normal and STZ diabetic groups) or STZ with BDSW of varying hardness (0, 1000, 2000, and 4000 ppm) for 4 weeks. The STZ with BDSW group exhibited lowered fasting plasma glucose levels than the STZ-induced diabetic group. Oral glucose tolerance tests showed that BDSW improves impaired glucose tolerance in STZ-induced diabetic mice. Histopathological evaluation of the pancreas showed that BDSW restores the morphology of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and increases the secretion of insulin in STZ-induced diabetic mice. Quantitative real-time PCR assay revealed that the expression of hepatic genes involved in gluconeogenesis, glucose oxidation, and glycogenolysis was suppressed, while the expression of the genes involved in glucose uptake, β-oxidation, and glucose oxidation in muscle were increased in the STZ with BDSW group. BDSW stimulated PI3-K, AMPK, and mTOR pathway-mediated glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes. BDSW increased AMPK phosphorylation in C2C12 myotubes and improved impaired AMPK phosphorylation in the muscles of STZ-induced diabetic mice. Taken together, these results suggest that BDSW is a potential anti-diabetic agent, owing to its ability to suppress hyperglycemia and improve glucose intolerance by modulating glucose metabolism, recovering pancreatic islets of Langerhans and increasing glucose uptake.  相似文献

To study effects of Bcl-x(L) in the pancreatic beta-cell, two transgenic lines were produced using different forms of the rat insulin promoter. Bcl-x(L) expression in beta-cells was increased 2- to 3-fold in founder (Fd) 1 and over 10-fold in Fd 2 compared with littermate controls. After exposure to thapsigargin (10 microM for 48 h), losses of cell viability in islets of Fd 1 and Fd 2 Bcl-x(L) transgenic mice were significantly lower than in islets of wild-type mice. Unexpectedly, severe glucose intolerance was observed in Fd 2 but not Fd 1 Bcl-x(L) mice. Pancreatic insulin content and islet morphology were not different from control in either transgenic line. However, Fd 2 Bcl-x(L) islets had impaired insulin secretory and intracellular free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) responses to glucose and KCl. Furthermore, insulin and [Ca(2+)](i) responses to pyruvate methyl ester (PME) were similarly reduced as glucose in Fd 2 Bcl-x(L) islets. Consistent with a mitochondrial defect, glucose oxidation, but not glycolysis, was significantly lower in Fd 2 Bcl-x(L) islets than in wild-type islets. Glucose-, PME-, and alpha-ketoisocaproate-induced hyperpolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential, NAD(P)H, and ATP production were also significantly reduced in Fd 2 Bcl-x(L) islets. Thus, although Bcl-x(L) promotes beta-cell survival, high levels of expression of Bcl-x(L) result in reduced glucose-induced insulin secretion and hyperglycemia due to a defect in mitochondrial nutrient metabolism and signaling for insulin secretion.  相似文献

Somatostatin (SRIF) regulates pancreatic insulin and glucagon secretion. In the present study we describe the generation of SRIF receptor subtype 5 knockout (sst(5) KO) mice to examine the role of SRIF receptor subtypes (sst) in regulating insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. Mice deficient in sst(5) were viable, fertile, appeared healthy, and displayed no obvious phenotypic abnormalities. Pancreatic islets isolated from sst(5) KO mice displayed increased total insulin content as compared with islets obtained from wild-type (WT) mice. Somatostatin-28 (SRIF-28) and the sst(5)/sst(1)-selective agonist compound 5/1 potently inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from WT islets. SRIF-28 inhibited insulin secretion from sst(5) KO islets with 16-fold less potency while the maximal effect of compound 5/1 was markedly diminished when compared with its effects in WT islets. sst(5) KO mice exhibited decreased blood glucose and plasma insulin levels and increased leptin and glucagon concentrations compared with WT mice. Furthermore, sst(5) KO mice displayed decreased susceptibility to high fat diet-induced insulin resistance. The results of these studies suggest sst(5) mediates SRIF inhibition of pancreatic insulin secretion and contributes to the regulation of glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Our findings suggest a potential beneficial role of sst(5) antagonists for alleviating metabolic abnormalities associated with obesity and insulin resistance.  相似文献

Inhibitors of alpha glucosidase have potential use in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The stem extract of Tinospora cordifolia was evaluated for inhibition of the enzyme. The extract was also found to inhibit the salivary and pancreatic amylase and therefore can effectively reduce an increase in postprandial glucose level. The crude ethyl acetate, dichloromethane (DCM), chloroform and hexane extracts of Tinospora cordifolia were studied. 15 mg of the DCM extract was most effective in that showed 100 % inhibition of the alpha glucosidase whereas salivary amylase was inhibited to the extent of 75 % and pancreatic amylase to 83 %. On giving a maltose load of 2mg / g along with 0.3 mg / g body weight of the DCM Tinospora stem extract a decrease was revealed in the hyperglycemic shoot up in normal and diabetic animals by 50 and 58 % respectively as compared to the controls. The extract was found to inhibit alpha glucosidase in a non-competitive manner.  相似文献

The levels of glycogen and cyclic AMP, incorporation of glucose into glycogen and activities of glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase were determined in pancreatic islets isolated from genetically obese mice and their lean litter-mates. Islets from obese mice had elevated glycogen levels, increased phosphorylase activity and an increased amount of glycogen synthetase in the physiologically more effective I-form, indicating an increased turnover of glycogen. There was no significant difference in cyclic AMP levels between islets of lean and obese mice, but inhibition of phosphodiesterase or stimulation of adenyl cyclase increased cyclic AMP levels more in obese than in lean mouse islets, indicating a more rapid turnover of cyclic AMP in the former. It is suggested that cyclic AMP stimulated phosphorolytic breakdown of glycogen may be one of the mechanisms responsible for the increased insulin secretory response to glucose observed in islets from genetically obese mice.  相似文献

Oxidative stress and oxidative damage to tissues are common end points of chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Oxidative stress in diabetes coexists with a reduction in the antioxidant status, which can further increase the deleterious effects of free radicals. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible protective effects of Murraya koenigii leaves extract against beta-cell damage and antioxidant defense systems of plasma and pancreas in streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. The levels of glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in blood and insulin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, ceruloplasmin, reduced glutathione and TBARS were estimated in plasma of control and experimental groups of rats. To assess the changes in the cellular antioxidant defense system such as the level of reduced glutathione and activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase were assayed in pancreatic tissue homogenate. The levels of glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, insulin, TBARS, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were altered in diabetic rats. These alterations were reverted back to near control levels after the treatment of M. koenigii leaves extract. Transmission electron microscopic studies also revealed the protective nature of M. koenigii leaves on pancreatic beta-cells. These findings suggest that M. koenigii treatment exerts a therapeutic protective nature in diabetes by decreasing oxidative stress and pancreatic beta-cell damage. The antioxidant effect of the M. koenigii extract was compared with glibenclamide, a well-known hypoglycemic drug.  相似文献

Scoparia dulcis (Sweet Broomweed) has been documented as a traditional treatment of diabetes. The administration of an aqueous extract of Scoparia dulcis at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight significantly decreased the blood glucose with significant increase in plasma insulin level in streptozotocin diabetic rats at the end of 15 days treatment. The insulin secretagogue action of Scoparia dulcis plant extract (SPEt) was further investigated using isolated pancreatic islets from mice. SPEt at a dose of 10 microg/ml evoked 6.0 fold stimulation of insulin secretion from isolated islets indicating its insulin secretagogue activity. In addition the effect of SPEt on streptozotocin induced cell death and nitric oxide (NO) in terms of nitrite production were also examined. SPEt protected against streptozotocin- mediated cytotoxicity (88%) and NO production in rat insulinoma cell line (RINm5F). Above results suggest the glucose lowering effect of SPEt to be associated with potentiation of insulin release from pancreatic islets. Our results revealed the possible therapeutic value of Scoparia dulcis for the better control, management and prevention of diabetes mellitus progression.  相似文献

Isolated pancreatic islets exposed to 100 mM acetazolamide (AZM) and low glucose concentration exhibited increased insulin release, whereas those subjected to AZM and high glucose concentration exhibited decreased secretion of insulin. A slight transient hyperglycaemia was found 24 h after administration of 1.5 g/kg b.wt. of AZM to fed mice, whereas no such response was seen in starved mice. The serum insulin concentration was increased in the 24 h after AZM injection. Pretreatment with AZM caused decreased glucose tolerance and protection against alloxan toxicity. Inhibited carbonic anhydrase activity and ionic alterations might have played a role in the development of these effects of AZM in mice.  相似文献

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is due to autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta-cells. Previously, we have shown that intravenously administered bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) allows pancreatic islet recovery, improves insulin secretion and reverts hyperglycemia in low doses streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Here we evaluate whether insulin prophylaxis and the administration of a second dose of cells affect the antidiabetic therapeutic effect of MSC transplantation. Insulitis and subsequent elimination of pancreatic beta-cells was promoted in C57BL/6 mice by the injection of 40 mg/kg/day STZ for five days. Twenty-four days later, diabetic mice were distributed into experimental groups according to if they received or not insulin and/or one or two doses of healthy donor-derived MSCs. Three and half months later: glycemia, pancreatic islets number, insulinemia, glycated hemoglobin level and glucose tolerance were determined in animals that did not received exogenous insulin for the last 1.5 months. Also, we characterized MSCs isolated from mice healthy or diabetic. The therapeutic effect of MSC transplantation was observed in diabetic mice that received or not insulin prophylaxis. Improvements were similar irrespective if they received one or two doses of cells. Compared to MSCs from healthy mice, MSCs from diabetic mice had the same proliferation and adipogenic potentials, but were less abundant, with altered immunophenotype and no osteogenic potential.Our preclinical results should be taken into account when designing phase II clinical trials aimed to evaluate MSC transplantation in patients with T1D. Cells should be isolated form healthy donor, insulin prophylaxis could be maintained and a second dose, after an elapse of two months, appears unnecessary in the medium-term.  相似文献

Nonobese diabetic mice are a well-known model for human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. These mice develop autoimmune-mediated inflammation of the pancreatic islets, followed by destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells and development of diabetes. Nonobese diabetic mice also have salivary gland inflammation, and serve as a model for human Sjogren's syndrome. T cells are a prominent component of the inflammatory infiltrate in these sites, and T cell recruitment from the blood is thought to be essential for the initiation and maintenance of pathologic tissue damage. A unique mAb to murine CD43, L11, has recently been shown to block the migration of T cells from blood into organized lymphoid tissues. Here we demonstrate that L11 significantly inhibits T cell migration from blood into inflamed islets and salivary glands. Treatment of nonobese diabetic mice with L11 from 1 to 4 or 8 to 12 wk of age led to significant protection against the development of diabetes. Moreover, protection was long-lived, with decreased incidence of diabetes even months after cessation of Ab administration. When treatment was started at 1 wk of age, L11 inhibited the development of inflammation in pancreatic islets and salivary glands. L11 treatment had no long-term effect on numbers or phenotypes of peripheral lymphocytes. These data indicate that anti-CD43 Abs that block T cell migration may be useful agents for the prevention or treatment of autoimmune diseases including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and Sjogren's syndrome.  相似文献

Homogenates of isolated pancreatic islets contain 40-70 times as much flavin-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.5) as homogenates of whole pancreas, liver, heart, or skeletal muscle when the activity is assayed with either iodonitrotetrazolium or with dichloroindophenol as an electron acceptor. Intact mitochondria from islets release 3HOH from [2-3H]glycerol phosphate 7 times faster than do skeletal muscle mitochondria. The activity of the cytosolic, NAD-linked, glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8) in pancreatic islets is comparable to that of the mitochondrial dehydrogenase so a glycerol phosphate shuttle is possible in pancreatic islets. Diazoxide, an inhibitor of insulin release in vivo and in vitro, inhibits the islet mitochondrial glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase in all three of the assays mentioned above at concentrations that inhibit insulin release and CO2 formation from glucose by isolated pancreatic islets. Diazoxide does not inhibit the dehydrogenase in mitochondria from skeletal muscle, liver, and heart. A slight inhibition in mitochondria from whole pancreas can be accounted for as inhibition of the islet dehydrogenase because no inhibition is observed in mitochondria from pancreas of rats treated with alloxan, an agent that causes diabetes by destroying pancreatic beta cells. The results of this study are compatible with the hypothesis that the mitochondrial glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase has a key role in stimulus-secretion coupling in the pancreatic beta cell during glucose-induced insulin release.  相似文献

The aim of this investigation was to further characterize the process of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) induced nitric oxide production in isolated pancreatic islets. It was found that both IL-1 beta and nitroprusside increased islet nitrite production. This effect was paralleled by inhibition of islet aconitase activity and glucose oxidation rates. Neither trifluoroperazinen or aminopterin could prevent the IL-1 beta induced increase in nitrite production, aconitase inhibition and decrease in glucose oxidation rates. In a second series of experiments, isolated mouse pancreatic islets were exposed to IL-1 beta for 24 h and subsequently used for nitrite production, aconitase activity and glucose oxidation determinations. The islets responded to IL-1 beta with an increased nitrite production and a decreased activity of aconitase, whereas the islet glucose oxidation rates were not decreased. It is concluded that IL-1 beta in both rat and mouse islets induces nitric oxide formation and that this induction leads to the inhibition of the Krebs cycle enzyme aconitase. In rat islets this probably leads to an inhibited insulin secretion, whereas IL-1 beta in mouse islets suppresses insulin secretion by a non-mitochondrial mechanism.  相似文献

Sphingomyelin synthase 1 (SMS1) catalyzes the conversion of ceramide to sphingomyelin. Here, we generated and analyzed SMS1-null mice. SMS1-null mice exhibited moderate neonatal lethality, reduced body weight, and loss of fat tissues mass, suggesting that they might have metabolic abnormality. Indeed, analysis on glucose metabolism revealed that they showed severe deficiencies in insulin secretion. Isolated mutant islets exhibited severely impaired ability to release insulin, dependent on glucose stimuli. Further analysis indicated that mitochondria in mutant islet cells cannot up-regulate ATP production in response to glucose. We also observed additional mitochondrial abnormalities, such as hyperpolarized membrane potential and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mutant islets. Finally, when SMS1-null mice were treated with the anti-oxidant N-acetyl cysteine, we observed partial recovery of insulin secretion, indicating that ROS overproduction underlies pancreatic β-cell dysfunction in SMS1-null mice. Altogether, our data suggest that SMS1 is important for controlling ROS generation, and that SMS1 is required for normal mitochondrial function and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells.  相似文献

Although it is agreed that autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islets in diabetic BB rats is rapid, reports of endocrine cell content of islets from BB diabetic rats at the time of onset of diabetes vary considerably. Because of the rapid onset of the disease (hours) and the attendant changes in islet morphology and insulin secretion, it was the aim of this study to compare islet beta-cell numbers to other islet endocrine cells as close to the time of onset of hyperglycemia as possible (within 12 h). As it has been reported that hyperglycemia renders the beta cell insensitive to glucose, the early effects of different levels of insulin therapy (well-controlled vs. poorly controlled glycemia) on islet morphology and insulin secretion were examined. When measured within 12 h of onset, insulin content of BB diabetic islets, measured by morphometric analysis or pancreatic extraction, was 60% of insulin content of control islets. Despite significant amounts of insulin remaining in the pancreas, 1-day diabetic rats exhibited fasting hyperglycemia and were glucose intolerant. The insulin response from the isolated perfused pancreas to glucose and the glucose-dependent insulinotropic hormone, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), was reduced by 95%. Islet content of other endocrine peptides, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide, was normal at onset and at 2 weeks post onset. A group of diabetic animals, maintained in a hyperglycemic state for 7 days with low doses of insulin, were compared with a group kept normoglycemic by appropriate insulin therapy. No insulin could be detected in islets of poorly controlled diabetics, while well-controlled animals had 30% of the normal islet insulin content.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
