Peripheral benzodiazepine receptors have been shown in some endocrine tissues, namely the testis, the adrenal gland, and the pituitary gland. In this work we evaluated whether peripheral benzodiazepine receptors can be found in the purified human pancreatic islets and whether they may have a role in

## Abstract Cytokines produced by immune system cells infiltrating pancreatic islets are candidate mediators of islet betaβcell destruction in autoimmune insulinβdependent diabetes mellitus. After 72 h exposure of human pancreatic islets to a cytotoxic cytokine combination of interleukin 1 beta (50
Current information on pancreatic islet sulfonylurea receptors has been obtained with laboratory animal pancreatic β€ cells or stable β€-cell lines. In the present study, we evaluated the properties of sulfonylurea receptors of human islets of Langherans, prepared by collagenase digestion and density-
In mammalian brain peripheral benzodiazepine (PBZD) receptors are predominantly localized on astroglial cells. Previous studies utilizing whole membrane preparations from brain and peripheral organs of various species have indicated several distinctions between the drug-receptor interactions of the
