The relationship between Fas-mediated apoptosis and Type 1 diabetes is currently under investigation. Fas/Fas ligand interaction could be involved both in the insulitis process and in beta-cell death. Nevertheless, different mechanisms appear to be involved in human Type 1 diabetes and in NOD mice.
## Abstract The biologically active form of vitamin D, 1,25(OH)~2~D~3~, is a potent modulator of the immune system as well as a regulator of bone and mineral metabolism. Vitamin Dβdeficiency in infancy and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms may be risk factors for insulinβdependent Diabetes mell
Binding of neuropeptides to their receptors usually results in internalization of receptor-ligand complexes. This process serves a crucial role in receptor downregulation, resensitization, and transmembrane signaling. It has mainly been investigated in cells ectopically expressing recombinant recept
The glycine and somatostatin (SS) neurotransmission systems in the brain have been implicated in the function of sensory, motor, and nociceptive pathways. To investigate a possible relationship between these two components, we studied the influence of glycine on the binding of 1251-Tyr'1-SS to its r
