Blocking cell receptors for glucagon, the counter-hormone to insulin, cured mouse models of diabetes by converting glucagon-producing cells into insulin producers instead, a team reports in a new ...

Transforming alpha cells into beta cells could be a particularly promising treatment for type 1 diabetes, says Dr. William L. Holland, the senior study author, who is now an assistant professor of ...

Thyroid hormones exert their effects through alpha (TRα1) and beta (TRβ1 and TRβ2) receptors. Here we describe a child with classic features of hypothyroidism (growth retardation, developmental ...

The beta-adrenergic receptors (ADRBs) are cell surface receptors that play central roles in the sympathetic nervous system. Pharmacological targeting of two of these receptors, ADRB1 and ADRB2 ...

Beta-adrenergic signaling mechanisms are of central importance to cardiovascular health and disease. Modulation of these pathways represents an important pharmacologic approach to the treatment of ...

Sept. 8, 2003 — Beta-adrenergic receptors and angiotensin II type 1 receptors join to form receptor complexes, allowing single antagonist drugs used to treat heart failure to have a dual effect ...
