Download or read book GLUCAGON Its Role in Physiology and Clinical Medicine written by P.P. Foa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing interest in glucagon. almost universal among diabetologists. made the decision to hold a satellite symposium immediately after the IX Congress of the International Diabetes Federation easy. indeed almost unavoidable. The climate. the beauty of its uniquely picturesque canals and houseboats. of its lakes and its mountains and above all. the friendliness of its people made the choice of Sri nagar equally easy. Problems of transportation and housing which appeared of Himalayan proportions from thousands of miles away were resolved with deceptive ease: as if the late autumn sun of New Delhi and Sri nagar had melted the snow that already covered many areas of the United States. For this. we thank the Executive Council and the Scientific Program Advisory Committee of the Congress. the Chairman and Co-Chairman of the local committee, Drs. Ali Mohammed Jan and S. N. Ahmed Shah; the Organizing Secretary, Dr. Syed Zahoor Ahmed; the joint Secretary, Dr. M. Y. Alvi; the Secretary of the Scientific Session. S. N. Dhar and the other committee members, Drs. G. Q. Allaqband, Wm. Riberio, Girja Dhar, J. A. Naqashbandi and Messrs. D. P. Zutshi, K. Amla and Ajit Singh. We are deeply grateful to His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir for his interest in the symposium and for the unforgettable hospitality offered in the name of his people. The suggestions, criticism and understanding of many colleagues helped us select topics and speakers for a representative rather than a comprehensive program.
Download or read book Glucagon written by Ahmed Al-Jebawi and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the discovery of the glucagon hormone, our knowledge of the pathophysiological changes of glucose metabolism has increased substantially. One of the first major breakthroughs in our understanding of the pathogenesis of diabetes occurred when patients with diabetic ketoacidosis were found to have very high glucagon levels. Since then, more observations confirmed hyperglucagonemia in diabetic patients. Despite the vast knowledge that we gained on glucagon, treating people with diabetes remained limited to replacing insulin, stimulating its secretion or improving its action for many years. Targeting glucagon pathway was not thought of as a valuable approach to treating diabetes until the first incretin mimetic was proved to be highly effective for not only stimulating the secretion of insulin but also for suppressing the glucagon secretion. The concept of bi-hormonal abnormality has changed the way we approach and treat diabetes. This book represents an extended and thorough review of glucagon biosynthesis and physiological effects. It also outlines the therapeutic options currently available to treat glucagon metabolic disorders. As it is intended for the whole scientific community, the material included was selected to be both clinical and scientific. It offers a unique integrative approach combining the expertise of the different specialties of endocrinology, physiology, cell biology, diabetes genetics and diabetes education.

Download or read book Glucagon III written by Pierre J. Lefebvre and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glucagon III complements Glucagon I and II published in 1983 in this series as Vols. 66/I and II. These three volumes truly represent a "glucagon encyclopedia" and as such have no competitors in the scientific literature worldwide. In this volume, the most recent data on glucagon molecular biology are reviewed together with clinically relevant information on the role of glucagon in the pathophysiology of diabetes, the place of glucagon in medical imaging or in emergency medicine. Chapters are devoted to newly identified members of the glucagon family such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and oxyntomodulin. Glucagon III is a comprehensive review of all information published on this important hormone since 1983 and is the reference book on the subject.

Download or read book The Insulinotropic Gut Hormone Glucagon like Peptide 1 written by Hans-Christoph Fehmann and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1997 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a promising new therapeutic tool for the treatment of diabetes. Since the first reports describing its potent insulinotropic activity were published about a decade ago, knowledge of the incretin hormones, and GLP-1 in particular, has increased significantly. This timely volume summarizes what is now known about the molecular biology, physiology and pharmacology of GLP-1. Thorough coverage is given to the physiology of the hormone, including its generation, release and actions at pancreatic and extrapancreatic tissues. The intracellular mechanisms of GLP-1 are also described in detail. Discussion of the molecular biology includes the structure and functions of the genes coding for proglucagon and the GLP-1 receptor. A special feature of the book is the clinical information provided which includes data on the expression and release of GLP-1 and its potential use as a therapeutic agent for diabetes. Presenting the results of exciting new research, this book will be a valuable reference for endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, pharmacologists, physiologists and biochemists interested in this important hormone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertebrate Endocrinology represents more than just a treatment of the endocrine system-it integrates hormones with other chemical bioregulatory agents not classically included with the endocrine system. It provides a complete overview of the endocrine system of vertebrates by first emphasizing the mammalian system as the basis of most terminology and understanding of endocrine mechanisms and then applies that to non-mammals. The serious reader will gain both an understanding of the intricate relationships among all of the body systems and their regulation by hormones and other bioregulators, but also a sense of their development through evolutionary time as well as the roles of hormones at different stages of an animal's life cycle. - Includes new full color format includes over 450 full color, completely redrawn image - Features a companion web site hosting all images from the book as PPT slides and .jpeg files - Presents completedly updated and revitalized content with new chapters, such as Endocrine Disrupters and Behavioral Endocrinology - Offers new clinical correlation vignettes throughout
