Beta-cell lipotoxicity in the pathogenesis of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus of obese rats: impairment in adipocyte-beta-cell relationships

TL;DR: A role for hyperlipacidemia in the pathogenesis of NIDDM is suggested; resistance to insulin-mediated antilipolysis is invoked to explain the high FFA despite hyperinsulinemia, and sensitivity of beta cells to hyperlipacedemia is invokedto explain the FFA-induced loss of GSIS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pancreatic β-Cells in Obesity: EVIDENCE FOR INDUCTION OF FUNCTIONAL, MORPHOLOGIC, AND METABOLIC ABNORMALITIES BY INCREASED LONG CHAIN FATTY ACIDS (∗)

TL;DR: It is concluded that hypersecretion of insulin by islets of obese Zucker fatty rats is associated with, and probably caused by, enhanced low Km glucose metabolism and beta-cell hyperplasia, abnormalities that can be induced in normal islets by increased FFA.
Journal ArticleDOI

"Low dose" metformin improves hyperglycemia better than acarbose in type 2 diabetics.

TL;DR: "low dose" metformin therapy improved glycemic control better than acarbose in non-obese diabetics, and significantly decreased HbA1c levels as compared to acarbOSE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrenoceptor antagonists, but not guanethidine, reduce glucopenia-induced glucagon secretion from perfused rat pancreas

TL;DR: The data do not, however, provide evidence indicating that glucopenia-induced glucagon secretion is mainly mediated by activation of sympathetic nerve terminals around the alpha-cells in the isolated perfused rat pancreas.
