1. SARS-CoV-2 leading to acute pancreatitis: an unusual presentation
ABSTRACT During SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) pandemic, the etiologic agent of COVID-19, several studies described the involvement of other tissues besides the respiratory tract, such as the gastrointestinal tract. Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2, the functional virus host cell receptor expressed by organs and tissues, seems to

3. Antidiabetic activity of aqueous extract of Sigesbeckia orientalis (St. Paul’s Wort) in alloxan-induced diabetes model
The current study evaluated antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities of aqueous extract of Sigesbeckia orientalis L. (St. Paul’s Wort) (AESO) in an alloxan-induced diabetic rat model. Following OECD guidelines safe doses of AESO were assessed in rats for the main study. Serum/bood glucose, α-amylase, and lipids levels and histopathological evaluatio

4. Morfologia do pâncreas da paca (Cuniculus paca, Linnaeus, 1766)
RESUMO Este trabalho se baseou na descrição morfológica da paca (Cuniculus paca), espécie selvagem pertencente à ordem dos roedores, típica de regiões tropicais, sendo o seu conhecimento anatômico detalhado muito importante para sua conservação, experimentação e comercialização, pois ainda são escassos na literatura os trabalhos sobre morfolog

5. Anti-diabetic effect of betulinic acid on streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced diabetic male mouse model
ABSTRACT Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by abnormal insulin secretion or action. In the present study, the effects of betulinic acid (BA, a triterpene) are evaluated on glucose, α-amylase and plasma insulin levels, insulin resistance and the histopathology of pancreatic islets in streptozotocin-nicotinamide (STZ-NA) diabetic mice. Seventy adult male

6. Beetle (Ulomoides dermestoides) fat improves diabetes: effect on liver and pancreatic architecture and on PPARγ expression
Ulomoides dermestoides is a beetle traditionally consumed to treat diabetes. In this study, we performed a composition analysis of U. dermestoides to obtain the principal fractions, which were used to assess the effect on glycemia, liver and pancreatic architecture, and PPARγ and GLUT4 expression. Normal mice and alloxan-induced diabetic mice were administe

7. Duodenal-jejunal bypass normalizes pancreatic islet proliferation rate and function but not hepatic steatosis in hypothalamic obese rats
Modifications in life-style and/or pharmacotherapies contribute to weight loss and ameliorate the metabolic profile of diet-induced obese humans and rodents. Since these strategies fail to treat hypothalamic obesity, we have assessed the possible mechanisms by which duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery regulates hepatic lipid metabolism and the morphophysio

8. The role of melatonin in diabetes: therapeutic implications
Melatonin referred as the hormone of darkness is mainly secreted by pineal gland, its levels being elevated during night and low during the day. The effects of melatonin on insulin secretion are mediated through the melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2). It decreases insulin secretion by inhibiting cAMP and cGMP pathways but activates the phospholipaseC/IP3 path

9. Vagotomy ameliorates islet morphofunction and body metabolic homeostasis in MSG-obese rats
The parasympathetic nervous system is important for β-cell secretion and mass regulation. Here, we characterized involvement of the vagus nerve in pancreatic β-cell morphofunctional regulation and body nutrient homeostasis in 90-day-old monosodium glutamate (MSG)-obese rats. Male newborn Wistar rats received MSG (4 g/kg body weight) or saline [control (CTL

10. Evaluation of antidiabetic antihyperlipidemic and pancreatic regeneration, potential of aerial parts of Clitoria ternatea
The aim of the present study was to investigate the pancreatic regeneration potential of of diferent fractions of the ethanol extract Clitoria ternateaL., Fabaceae. The antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic potential was evaluated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and correlated with its in vivoand in vitro antioxidant activity. The extract and its fract

11. O efeito pró-apoptótico de oligômeros da amilina humana não é potencializado pela lipotoxicidade em ilhotas pancreáticas de rato em cultura / The pro-apoptotic effect of human amylin oligomers is not potentiated by lipotoxicity in rat pancreatic islets in culture
The amyloid deposit is a common histopathological feature in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and it seems to be related to the pancreatic beta cell dysfunction characteristic of this disease. A study previously developed in our laboratory found that human amylin oligomers decrease mRNA expression of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypept

12. Imunoproteção de ilhotas pancreáticas microencapsuladas em biomateriais inovadores e seu potencial terapêutico no diabetes mellitus tipo 1 / Immunoprotection of pancreatic islets microencapsulated in inovative biomaterials and its therapeutic potential in type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Transplantation of microencapsulated islets represents an attractive therapeutical approach to treat type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, accounting for an improved glycemic control and the abolishment of immunosuppressive therapies. However, maintenance of long-term β-cell viability remains a major problem. During islet isolation, the loss of extracellular matrix
