Project 6 - Role of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in glucose homeostasis
Host Institution: University of Liverpool
» Info
Hypothesis: The CaSR is a determinant of pancreatic beta-cell function and peripheral insulin action.
Objectives: ESRUL will 1) Investigate role of CaSR in beta-cell electrophysiology, and the development and maintenance of beta-cell mass, using islets harvested from Nuf mice with a gain-of-function CaSR mutation; 2) Characterise effects of CaSR on the peripheral actions of insulin in wild-type and affected Nuf mice.
