Clearance of immune complexes made of antiinsulin antibodies and 123I-insulin was studied with scintillation scanning in anesthetized rats. Complexes made with purified guinea pig antiinsulin IgG2 (cytophilic isotype) were rapidly cleared by the liver whereas those made with IgG1 remained in the plasma, as did 123I-labeled IgG1 or IgG2 of control animals. Hepatic clearance of insulin-antiinsulin IgG complexes was not inhibited by either an excess of insulin or decomplementation, thereby ruling out interaction with insulin and C3b receptors. Insulin and guinea pig antiinsulin serum or its purified IgG isotypes formed large aggregates exceeding 5 IgG. Antiinsulin antibodies of diabetics, mostly IgG1 and IgG3 (cytophilic isotypes), formed complexes that either remained in plasma (small aggregates) or were cleared by the liver (large aggregates). In conclusion, clearance of insulin-antiinsulin IgG complexes is probably mediated by Fc gamma receptors on macrophages and requires cytophilic subclass composition and formation of large IgG aggregates.

Purpose: To explore how serum diabetes autoantibodies are related to the development of early diabetic retinopathy in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: In this prospective and observational study, 62 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus who had not yet developed clinical diabetic retinopathy were followed up for at least 5 years. Healthy volunteers aged 10 to 20 years were also included.
Therapeutic effects of resveratrol and β-carotene on L-arginine-induced acute pancreatitis through oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways in rats.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe inflammatory condition affecting the pancreas, often leading to systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. This study evaluated the effects of resveratrol (RES) and β-carotene (βC) on L-arginine-induced AP in rats. Forty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into six groups: Control (C), RES (20 mg/kg), βC (50 mg/kg), AP, AP + RES, and AP + βC.

Neonatal diabetes is an infrequent disorder that may present as transient, permanent, or syndromic. It is most commonly caused by pathogenic variants involving the ABCC8, KCNJ11, and INS genes. To describe a neonate with permanent diabetes mellitus due to a previously unreported variant in the INS gene, outlining the diagnostic complexities, therapeutic interventions, and related clinical challenges.

Traditional antidiabetic treatments often carry the risk of beta-cell exhaustion, highlighting the need for therapies that promote beta-cell regeneration. This study investigates the comparative effects of Liraglutide, naltrexone/bupropion (NTX + BUP), and caloric restriction on metabolic control and beta-cell regeneration in a rat model of obese type 2 diabetes. Fifty male albino rats were randomized into five groups: normal control, diabetic control, diabetic + caloric restriction (50%), diabetic + NTX + BUP (4 mg/45 mg /kg/day orally), and diabetic + liraglutide (0.

Summary: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a subtype of monogenic diabetes and a rare type of diabetes, which accounts for 1-5% of cases and is often underdiagnosed. The importance of its diagnosis lies in the potential implications that it can have on disease management and offspring. We report a de novo KCNJ11-MODY case and the process of transition from insulin to sulfonylureas.
