G-protein coupled receptors regulate hormone secretions in the pancreas. Learn how the complex signaling features of these receptors are illuminating diabetes research. Diabetes results from ...

The pancreas performs two crucial functions in our body: Endocrine function - This involves the production and secretion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels.

which make up the exocrine gland and ducts of the pancreas. The exocrine gland secretes enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins and acids in the duodenum. The various types of ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate molecular markers which might be a predictor of pancreatic cancer or precancer by analyzing the secretions (fluid) from a pancreatic cyst, pancreas fluid and ...

Postoperative complications are common and typically related to leakage of pancreatic exocrine secretions following anastomosis failure. Pancreatic proteases and lipase leaking from the organ remnant ...

Researchers from Lund University, in collaboration with Newcastle University, have uncovered a potential breakthrough in ...

G-protein coupled receptors regulate hormone secretions in the pancreas. Learn how the complex signaling features of these receptors are illuminating diabetes research.

The pseudocysts appear to arise from an insult to the pancreatic duct leading to extravasation of pancreatic secretions. Pseudocysts occur in 25% of patients with chronic pancreatitis and has been ...

The protein concentration of fraction 1 was high because this fraction contains proteins which were washed out from pancreatic ductules by secretin stimulation. Fraction 3 was obtained after CCK ...

Cystic fibrosis is an example of a medical condition associated with hereditary pancreatitis. Cystic fibrosis can cause the secretions from the pancreas to clog its ducts. This decreases the ...
