Slepchenko K, Chen S, Counts G, Corbin K, Colvin R, Nunemaker C
Metallomics . 2021 Aug; 13(9). PMID: 34402906
Pancreatic beta-cells synthesize and secrete insulin maintaining an organism's energy homeostasis. In humans, beta-cell dysfunction and death contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although the causes of...

Duran-Ortiz S, Corbin K, Jahan I, Whitticar N, Morris S, Bartholomew A, et al.
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab . 2021 May; 320(6):E1158-E1172. PMID: 33938235
In the endocrine pancreas, growth hormone (GH) is known to promote pancreatic islet growth and insulin secretion. In this study, we show that GH receptor (GHR) loss in the germline...

Slepchenko K, Corbin K, Nunemaker C
J Endocrinol . 2019 Mar; PMID: 30870813
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is a well-accepted method to investigate the physiological and pathophysiological function of islets. However, there is little consensus about which method is best for normalizing and...

Slepchenko K, Holub J, Li Y
Cell Signal . 2018 Feb; 44:148-157. PMID: 29414441
Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) is a Ser/Thr-specific kinase involved in many fundamental cellular processes including growth, differentiation and apoptosis. PKCδ is expressed ubiquitously in all known cell types, and...

Slepchenko K, Lu Q, Li Y
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol . 2017 Jul; 313(4):C448-C459. PMID: 28747335
Both zinc (Zn) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to accumulate during hypoxic-ischemic stress and play important roles in pathological processes. To understand the cross talk between the...

Lu Q, Haragopal H, Slepchenko K, Stork C, Li Y
Int J Physiol Pathophysiol Pharmacol . 2016 May; 8(1):35-43. PMID: 27186321
Zinc (Zn(2+)) is required for numerous cellular functions. As such, the homeostasis and distribution of intracellular zinc can influence cellular metabolism and signaling. However, the exact distribution of free zinc...
