Sentences with phrase «when cells in the pancreas»

Causes Of Canine Diabetes Diabetes in dogs is caused when cells in the pancreas stop producing enough insulin, or if cells in other body tissues become resistant to the action of insulin.

Not exact matches

Four years ago, the research team of Pedro Herrera (University of Geneva) first cast doubt on this assumption when they demonstrated that a few alpha cells in the pancreas of genetically modified diabetic mice changed into beta cells.

The investigators utilized a targeting method called RNA interference (RNAi) which, when delivered via these natural nanoparticles or exosomes, zero in on mutant KRAS in pancreas cancer cells, impacting tumor burden and survival in multiple pancreas cancer models.

Islet autoimmunity, detected by antibodies that appear when the immune system attacks the islet cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, is a precursor to type 1 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes hits when the body destroys insulin - producing cells in the pancreas.

The disease begins when a person's own antibodies attack the insulin - producing cells in the pancreas.

When the pancreatic islets, small masses of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, are exposed to high levels of nutrients — as is the case among people who eat a lot — they become inflamed.

When pancreas cells containing clumps of misfolded IAPP, taken from an engineered diabetic mouse, were mixed in a dish of healthy human pancreas cells, it triggered the clumping of IAPP in the human cells.

When they briefly exposed nestin - positive cells to a growth factor, the cells differentiated not only into neural cells but also into clusters that resemble the insulin - producing islets in the pancreas.

The deficit is most pronounced in type 1 diabetes, which develops when insulin - producing beta - cells of the pancreas are destroyed.

While that might seem to implicate the mother cells in the disease, Nelson and her colleagues learned otherwise when they looked at the pancreases, removed during autopsy, of four individuals, including one diabetic.

On Wednesday, scientists reported in Nature that they had created mouse - rat chimeras — also starting with mouse pluripotent stem cells and fertilized rat eggs — in which the pancreases were sufficiently mouse - like that, when cells from them were transplanted into mice with diabetes, they churned out insulin and reversed the disease.

TYPE 1 DIABETES OCCURS when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin - producing beta cells in the pancreas.

However, because mature cells in the stomach, pancreas, liver, and kidney all activate the same genes and go through the same process when they begin to divide again, the findings could mean that cancer initiation is much more similar across organs than scientists have thought.

Studying cells from the stomach and pancreas in humans and mice, as well as mouse kidney and liver cells, and cells from more than 800 tumor and precancerous lesions in people, the researchers found when tissue is injured by infections or trauma, mature cells can revert back to a stem - cell state in which they divide repeatedly.

When you eat carbs, your pancreas releases insulin — the hormone that tells your body to store nutrients in your fat and muscle cells.

When blood sugar increases, the pancreas bumps up its secretion of insulin in order to bump up the movement of glucose out of the blood stream and into the cells.

Excess glucose is stored in the liver; when needed to sustain blood sugar between meals, the liver releases sugar and the pancreas responds with more insulin to help it enter cells.

In other words, every cell and organ is affected when the «draw» on your pancreas and liver has been exhausted.

It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and damages insulin - making cells in the pancreas.

So too do the islet cells that manufacture insulin in the pancreas die when drugs, nay doctors, whip them to keep producing more insulin when they are tired and sick.

When your body gets the signal that you've eaten, beta cells in your pancreas produce insulin, which is what tells your cells absorb glucose.

When your body gets the signal that you've eaten, beta cells in your pancreas produce insulin, a hormone that tells your cells to absorb glucose to use as fuel.

When you reach your Personal Fat Threshold, your body can no longer force excess energy into storage in your fat cells and it gets stuffed into other places that are more sensitive like your liver, your brain, your heart, your pancreas.

In normal, healthy animals, cells in the pancreas release insulin automatically when a rise in glucose in the blood is detecteIn normal, healthy animals, cells in the pancreas release insulin automatically when a rise in glucose in the blood is detectein the pancreas release insulin automatically when a rise in glucose in the blood is detectein glucose in the blood is detectein the blood is detected.

Insulinoma is when the pancreas develops multiple little tumors on the insulin producing cells in the pancreas.

It is critical to monitor insulin needs very closely if an attempt is made to correct high blood sugar using insulin in a dog with acute pancreatitis, in order to avoid the risk of shock due to an over dosage of insulin when the islet cell function returns and the pancreas begins to make insulin normally.

Diabetes results when either the islets cells of the pancreas lack the ability to secrete adequate levels of insulin in response to absorbed dietary glucose, or the cellular insulin receptors are unresponsive to insulin.

Likewise, when many of the insulin - producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed, diabetes mellitus or «sugar diabetes» will occur and insulin therapy will be required.
