Activation of the unfolded protein response in high glucose treated endothelial cells is mediated by methylglyoxal by Zehra Irshad (18614869)

“…Silencing of Glo1, selectively increasing MG, activated the UPR similarly. Silencing of HK-2 prevented increased glucose metabolism and MG formation. trans-Resveratrol and hesperetin combination (tRES-HESP) corrected increased MG and glucose metabolism by increasing expression of Glo1 and decreasing expression of HK-2. …”

Chromogranin A‐positive hormone‐negative endocrine cells in pancreas in human pregnancy by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…However, an increase in the percentage of clustered β-cells was found in pregnancy, with decreased frequency of other endocrine cells in clusters, suggesting a compensatory shift from other pancreatic endocrine cell types to β-cells as a mechanism to meet the increased insulin demands of pregnancy.…”
