Insulin secretion: Feed-forward control of insulin biosynthesis?
It has long been accepted wisdom that insulin secreted from islet beta cells has either no effect, or an inhibitory feedback effect, on insulin synthesis and secretion. Recent work suggests, instead, that secreted insulin acts directly on beta cells, via its own receptor, to enhance insulin production in an autocrine feed-forward loop.
متن کاملControl of fetal insulin secretion.
In this study, we investigated the way in which fetal insulin secretion is influenced by interrelated changes in blood glucose and sympathoadrenal activity. Experiments were conducted in late gestation sheep fetuses prepared with chronic peripheral and adrenal catheters. The fetus mounted a brisk insulin response to hyperglycemia but with only a minimal change in the glucose-to-insulin ratio, i...
متن کاملOscillatory control of insulin secretion.
Pancreatic beta-cells possess an inherent ability to generate oscillatory signals that trigger insulin release. Coordination of the secretory activity among beta-cells results in pulsatile insulin secretion from the pancreas, which is considered important for the action of the hormone in the target tissues. This review focuses on the mechanisms underlying oscillatory control of insulin secretio...
متن کاملProtein phosphorylation in the regulation of insulin secretion and biosynthesis.
In experiments similar to those using CCh, we have been unable to demonstrate significant effects of glucose (20 mM) on PKC translocation at times (2-10 min) when this concentration of glucose stimulated insulin secretion [8] and the production de novo of DA [14]. PKC is a family of isoenzymes which may have differing sensitivities to different activators [3]. I t is conceivable that glucose ac...
متن کاملInsulin Secretion
Insulin is secreted from the -cells of the pancreatic islets by Ca 2 -dependent exocytosis of large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) (Ämmälä et al., 1993), a process that is triggered by glucose-induced electrical activity (Henquin and Meissner, 1984). In response to a step elevation of glucose, insulin secretion follows a characteristic biphasic time course (Curry et al., 1968): an initial transien...
