Summary: | A process is disclosed for controlling inflammatory tissue access through release of neuropeptides, such as substance P (sP), to insulin-responsive sensory neurons, whereby simultaneous control of insulin sensitivity/resistance is manifested. In models of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, sensory afferents, in particular TRPV1, have fundamental roles in insulin/glucose homeostasis, islet physiology and autoimmune tissue inflammation. By manipulation of the TRPV1 neuro-beta-cell circuit or enhancement of pancreatic sP levels, normalization of insulin resistance, clearance of inflammation and prevention of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is realized.
Se describe un proceso para controlar el acceso a tejido inflamatorio a través de la liberación de neuropéptidos, tales como la sustancia P (sP), a las neuronas sensoras que responden a la insulina, de manera que se manifieste simultáneamente el control de la sensibilidad/resistencia a la insulina. En los modelos diabetes tipo 1 y tipo 2, los aferentes sensores, en particular TRPV1 tienen papeles fundamentales en la homeostasis de insulina/glucosa, la fisiología de la isleta y la inflamación del tejido autoinmune . Mediante manipulación del circuito neuro-célula beta del TRPV1 o el incremento en los niveles pancreáticos de la sP, se obtiene la normalización de la resistencia a la insulina, la liberación de la inflamación y la prevención de la diabetes de tipo 1 y de tipo 2. |
