Chronic elevations in plasma levels of fatty acids (FAs) adversely affect pancreatic beta-cell function in type 2 diabetes. In vitro, we have previously shown that deleterious effects of prolonged exposure of isolated islets to FAs were dependent on the presence

Nitric oxide (NO) has been proposed as a possible mediator of beta-cell damage in human IDDM. This hypothesis is based on in vitro studies with rodent pancreatic islets. In the present study we examined whether human beta-cells are affected by
1. Selected esters of succinic acid are currently under investigation as potential insulinotropic tools in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes. At variance with the methyl esters of succinic acid used in most of the work so far conducted from this
Amino acid uptake by the general amino acid permease (Aap) of Rhizobium leguminosarum strain 3841 was severely reduced by the presence of aspartate in the growth medium when glucose was the carbon source. The reduction in transport by the Aap
Annals of nutrition & metabolism, 41(2), 118-125 (1997-01-01)
Rats were fasted for 48 h, but infused with either NaCl or the sodium salt of monoethyl succinic acid (EMS), both delivered at a rate of 80 mumol/g body weight per day. The infusion of EMS, as compared to NaCl
