- ►physiology.org HC Su, LM Hung, JK Chen - American Journal of Physiology- …, 2006 - Am Physiological Soc Aberrant energy metabolism is one characteristic of diabetes mellitus (DM). Two types of DM
have been identified, type 1 and type 2. Most of type 2 DM patients eventually become insulin
dependent because insulin secretion by the islets of Langerhans becomes exhausted. In ... Cited by 47 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions

M Guido, D Romualdi, A Lanzone - Current pharmaceutical design, 2006 - ingentaconnect.com Abstract: Beta-endorphin were detected in the endocrine pancreas and seem able to influence
insulin and glucagon re- lease. Hence, endogenous opioids could have a role in glucoregulation
and in the pathogenesis of obesity beyond the pre- viously detected effects on appetite. ... Cited by 9 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
