MicroRNAs in islet hormone secretion
1 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic islet hormone secretion is central in the maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis. During development of hyperglycaemia, the β‐cell is under pressure to release more insulin to compensate for increased insulin resistance. Failure of the β‐cells to secrete enough insulin results in type 2 diabetes (T2D). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non‐coding RNA molecules suitable for rapid regulation of the changes...
