Objective: Elevated intracellular cAMP concentrations potentiate insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells. Phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) is highly expressed in these cells and plays a role in the regulation of insulin secretion.
Materials And Methods: In this study, effects of amrinone, an inhibitor of PDE3B on insulin release from isolated pancreatic islets, were determined.
Results: Exposure of islets to amrinone for 15, 30 and 90 min markedly increased secretion induced by 6.7 mM glucose. Amrinone enhanced also secretion stimulated by 6.7 mM glucose and DB-cAMP, an activator of PKA. It was also demonstrated that amrinone potentiated insulin secretion induced by 6.7 mM glucose in the combination with PMA (activator of PKC) or acetylcholine. However, the insulin-secretory response to glucose and glibenclamide was unchanged by amrinone.
Conclusions: These results indicate that amrinone is capable of increasing insulin secretion; however, its action is restricted.

For commercial laying hens, the continuous high-intensity ovulation process leads to a significant accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the granulosa cells, inducing oxidative stress, which accelerates ovarian aging and shortens the peak laying period. The molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. Therefore, we modeled the processes of oxidative stress and antioxidant in chicken granulosa cells.

Parkinson's disease (PD), a chronic and common neurodegenerative disease, is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the dense part of the substantia nigra and abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic insulin resistance and deficiency in insulin secretion. Extensive evidence has confirmed shared pathogenic mechanisms underlying PD and T2DM, such as oxidative stress caused by insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and disorders of energy metabolism.

Human glucokinase (GCK) functions as a glucose sensor in the pancreas and liver, where GCK activity regulates insulin secretion and glycogen synthesis, respectively. GCK's low affinity for glucose and the sigmoidal substrate dependency of enzymatic turnover enables it to act as a sensor that makes cells responsive to changes in circulating glucose levels. Its unusual kinetic properties are intrinsically linked to the enzyme's conformational dynamics.

The transition period is a crucial stage in the reproductive cycle for dams and is linked closely with postpartum recovery, reproduction performance, and health. The confronting problem in the yak industry is that transition yaks under a conventional grazing feeding regime endure nutritional deficiency since this period is in late winter and early spring of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the lack of grass on natural pasture. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of perinatal nutritional supplementation and early weaning on serum biochemistry, reproductive performance, and metabolomics in transition yaks.

The present study aimed to determine the predictive power of the diabetic markers and metabolic syndrome factors in School-aged children for developing Type 2 DM. In this cross-sectional study, 1288 students aged 12-13 were recruited from public schools in the capital city of Sana'a. Anthropometric measurements and blood pressure were recorded and body mass index (BMI) was calculated.
