Effects of dietary and pharmacological interventions on pancreatic β-cell compensation in Nile rats: a model for spontaneous type 2 diabetes
DownloadFall 2019
Insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells adapt to obesity-related insulin resistance via increases in insulin secretion and β-cell mass, which is referred to as β-cell compensation. Failed β-cell compensation predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the mechanisms underlying β-cell...

Poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide) microgel‐based etalons for determining the concentration of ethanol in gasoline
Download2015-01-01
A device composed of a poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐based microgel layer sandwiched between two thin gold layers was used as a platform for determining the amount of ethanol in gasoline (octane number of 87). This device, also known as an etalon, has unique optical properties, which depend on the...
