Problematic hypoglycemia, defined as two or more episodes per year of severe
hypoglycemia or as one episode associated with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia …

This paper is a peer review of journals addressing the issue of the impact of development
communication in a number of development projects and programs. It provides an overview …

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by impaired insulin secretion from pancreatic β‐cells
and/or reduced response of target tissues to insulin. Good glycemic control delays the …

A member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family was cloned here. The
channel, called BIR (Kir6. 2), was expressed in large amounts in rat pancreatic islets and …

Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases associated with various metabolic disorders, the
main feature of which is chronic hyperglycemia due to insufficient insulin action. Its …

We have cloned an isoform of the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR), designated SUR2.
Coexpression of SUR2 and the inward rectifier K+ channel subunit Kir6. 2 in COS1 cells …

The expression of five facilitative glucose transporter genes, GLUT1 (erythrocyte type),
GLUT2 (liver type), GLUT3 (brain type), GLUT4 (muscle/fat type), and GLUT5 (small intestine …

Objectives Low skeletal muscle, referred to as sarcopenia, has been shown to be an
independent predictor of lower overall survival in various kinds of diseases. Several studies …

ATP-sensitive K+(K ATP) channels play a crucial role in coupling metabolic energy to the
membrane potential of cells. We have isolated a cDNA encoding a novel member (uK ATP …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are activated by
various metabolic stresses, including hypoxia. The substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), the …
