Do KCa channels and carbonic anhydrase play a role in thiazide-induced hyperglycaemia?

چکیده
Thiazide diuretics are widely used to treat hypertension, but their use is associated with impaired glucose tolerance. We propose that the diabetogenic action of thiazides may be due to their ability to open calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels in pancreatic beta-cells.

Study of Glycation Process of Human Carbonic Anhydrase II and Investigation of Effect of Fasting On Enzyme Activity by Using Spectroscopic Methods
Background: Glycation is the non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl groups in sugar and free amino groups in proteins. this reaction leads to changes in structure and functions of proteins. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is the final stage in this process, which is highly oxidizing and destructive nature, causing many diabetic complications. Methods: In the present investigation, ...
متن کاملChlorthalidone decreases platelet aggregation and vascular permeability and promotes angiogenesis.
Variations in diuretic-mediated inhibition of carbonic anhydrase-dependent chloride transport in platelets and vascular smooth muscle could account for the contrasting efficacy of the thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics in reducing cardiovascular morbidity in patients with hypertension. We assessed platelet carbonic anhydrase activity and catecholamine-induced platelet aggregation in the prese...

Introduction: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and protection of blood vessels against endothelial dysfunction. Since the mechanism of salt impairing H2S-induced vascular relaxation is not fully clear, therefore this study was designed to investigate the role of potassium (K+) channels in the vasodilatory effects of exogenous H2S in rat aortic rings.&nb...
متن کاملpH Dependence Study of the Kinetic Reaction of Bovine Carbonic Anhydrase with 2,2'-Dithiobispyridine in the Absence and Presence of Surfactants
The pH dependence study reveals that the Cys 206 sulphydryl group of bovine carbonicanhydrase in the native form is not exposed. During the reaction of 2,2'-dithiobispyridine (2-DTP) with the enzyme, there was no absorbance change recorded. In the presence ofsurfactants, the pH dependence profiles of the apparent second order rate constants, kapp, forthe reaction of 2-DTP with bovine carbonic a...

In this paper, we used quantum chemical approach to shed light on the catalytic mechanism of γ-carbonic anhydrase (γ-CA) to convert carbon dioxide to bicarbonate ion. Density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP and UB3LYP functional and three split-valance including 6-31G*, 6-311G** and 6-311++G** basis sets were used to calculate the details of electronic structure and electronic energy of act...
