Insulin secretion: Feed-forward control of insulin biosynthesis?

نویسنده

  • Guy A. Rutter
چکیده

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.

Insulin does not mediate glucose stimulation of proinsulin biosynthesis.

It has recently been suggested that insulin augments its own production by a physiologically important feed-forward autocrine loop. We studied the kinetics of glucose-regulated proinsulin gene expression and proinsulin biosynthesis in normal rat islets with emphasis on the potential role of insulin as a mediator of the glucose effect. There was a time-dependent increase in steady-state proinsul...

Hypoinsulinemia induction and its effects on leptin secretion, blood and urine metabolites, feeding pattern and internal organs indices in sheep

Introduction: Insulin role and importance are different from that of monogastric. In this study, permanent hypoinsulinemia with various severities was induced using doses 0, 25, 50 and 75 mg/kg BW of streptozotocin (STZ) in sheep. Materials and methods: Twenty male lambs were divided into four treatment groups and maintained individually. Treatments were single, intravenous injection of doses ...

بررسی اثر گلوکزآمین بر فعالیت آنزیم‌های گلوکوکیناز و هگزوکیناز پانکراس و ارتباط آن با ترشح انسولین از جزایر لانگرهانس موش‌های صحرایی سالم و دیابتی نوع 2

Background: Glucokinase serves as a glucose sensor in pancreatic β-cells and plays a key role in glucose homeostasis and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In the present study we examined the effect of glucosamine, a glucokinase inhibitor, on the pancreatic glucokinase and hexokinase activities and on insulin secretion from freshly rat pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Insulin concen...

Evaluation of Glutamate Dehydrogenase Activity and Insulin Secretion in Mice Exposed to Dexamethasone

Background and Aims: Diabetes is one of the most important endocrine disrupters and is associated with various hormones, including those that can lead to diabetes. Glucocorticoid use may lead to insulin resistance. Dexamethasone is one of these glucocorticoid compounds. Glutamate dehydrogenase plays a key role in the production of glutamate in the secretion of insulin. Based on these hormonal i...

Background: Sulfonylurea agents such as Glibenclamide (Glyburide) have been widely prescribe in treatment of type 2 diabetic patients for decades, but controversy remains about their precise mechanism of action. On the other hand, glucokinase serves as a glucose sensor in pancreatic β-cells and plays a key role in the regulation of insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. The aim of the pres...
