Reviews in brief the studies of the effects of some non-glucose regulators of various origins on pancreatic insulin secretion mediated by endocrine, paracrine, and neurocrine mechanisms, carried out in this laboratory. Model experiments with primary monolayer cultures of isolated islet cells have helped demonstrate a direct insulinotropic effect of STH, TRH, C-terminal tetrapeptide cholecystokinin, opioid peptides and blood plasma of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The findings evidence that the insulinotropic effect of the blood serum of patients with type I diabetes may be associated with both stimulation and suppression of the functional activity of the cultivated islet cells. This latter type of effect influences the basal and glucose-stimulated secretion of insulin. The destructive effect of the plasma of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes on the function of islet cell culture is confirmed by the presence of autoantibodies to islet cell surface antigens in the plasma of 53-55% of the examined patients and by a cytotoxic effect in 45% of cases.

Insulin plays a key role in metabolic homeostasis. insulin-producing cells (IPCs) are functional analogues of mammalian pancreatic beta cells and release insulin directly into circulation. To investigate the in vivo dynamics of IPC activity, we quantified the effects of nutritional and internal state changes on IPCs using electrophysiological recordings.

The prevalence of diabetes has increased rapidly in recent years, and many types of therapeutic agents have been developed. However, the main purpose of these drugs is to lower blood glucose levels, and they are not fundamental solutions. In contrast, our research has been aimed at stimulating and inducing β-cell proliferation in vivo and replenishing β-cells.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is a unique autoimmune attack on the β cell of the pancreatic islet resulting in progressive destruction of these cells and as a result the ability of the body to maintain insulin production. The consequences of insulin deficiency are very severe, and the disease was fatal prior to the ability to extract insulin from animal pancreas in 1921. We review progress in the treatment of childhood type 1 diabetes over the past 100 years.

Glucose-stimulated insulin release from pancreatic β-cells is critical for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. An abrupt increase in blood glucose concentration evokes a rapid and transient rise in insulin secretion followed by a prolonged, slower phase. A diminished first phase is one of the earliest indicators of β-cell dysfunction in individuals predisposed to develop type 2 diabetes.
