Diabetes: No Longer a Hopeless Disease 2013 663967 RCAW Lifetime Achievement Award
An in vitro human muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies. Decreased insulin stimulation of glucose transport in muscle from morbidly obese and diabetic subjects. 2011 663967 We have developed an in vitro muscle preparation suitable for metabolic studies with human muscle tissue and have investigated the effects of obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) on glucose transport. Transport of 3-0- methylgl...
Insulin-like growth factor I binding in hepatocytes from human liver human hepatoma and normal regenerating and fetal rat liver. 2011 663967 Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in human hepatoma cells (HEP-G2) has in addition to its effect on cell growth shortterm metabolic effects acting through its own receptor. We have demonstrated that normal human hepatocytes compared with HEP-G2 ce...
Long-term effect of insulin on glucose transport and insulin binding in cultured adipocytes from normal and obese humans with and without non-insulin-dependent diabetes. 2011 663967 We have tested the hypothesis that in vitro exposure of insulin- resistant adipocytes with insulin results in improved insulin action. A primary culture system of adipocytes from obese subjects with or without non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus ...
Thoracic neuroblastoma presenting as a cystic hygroma. 2011 663967 A case of thoracic neuroblastoma with extension into the supraclavicular fossa is described. By physical examination and ultrasound the patient was thought to have a cystic hygroma with mediastinal extension. A 'cystic' neck mass may be the initial p...
