P2Y potentiates insulin secretion and beta-cell metabolism
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, February 28th, 2005
"Purine nucleotides and their analogs increase insulin secretion through activation of pancreatic beta-cell P2Y receptors. The present study aimed at determining the role of glucose metabolism in the response to P2Y agonists and whether ATP-activated K+ channels (KATP channels) are involved in this response. The experiments were performed in the rat isolated pancreas, perfused with a Krebs-bicarbonate buffer supplemented with 2 g/L bovine serum albumin under dynamic glucose conditions from 5 mmol/L baseline to 11 mmol/L," scientists in France report.
