Hyperinsulinism-hyperammonaemia syndrome: novel mutations in the GLUD1 gene and genotype-phenotype correlations [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Activating mutations in the GLUD1 gene (which encodes for the intra-mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase, GDH) cause the hyperinsulinism–hyperammonaemia (HI/HA) syndrome.

The mitochondrial K-ATP channel opener diazoxide upregulates STIM1 and Orai1 via ROS and the MAPK pathway in adult rat cardiomyocytes

Cell & Bioscience, 2020
Background Openers of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium (mKATP) channels like diazoxide increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in cardiac cells and reduce Ca2+ elevations produced by ischemia–reperfusion, protecting the ...

Loss of AMP-activated protein kinase alpha 2 subunit in mouse beta-cells impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and inhibits their sensitivity to hypoglycaemia [PDF]

, 2010
AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) signalling plays a key role in whole-body energy homoeostasis, although its precise role in pancreatic β-cell function remains unclear.

ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel-Mediated Lactate Effect on Orexin Neurons: Implications for Brain Energetics during Arousal [PDF]

, 2010
Active neurons have a high demand for energy substrate, which is thought to be mainly supplied as lactate by astrocytes. Heavy lactate dependence of neuronal activity suggests that there may be a mechanism that detects and controls lactate levels and/or ...

The danger of diazoxide in the neonatal intensive care unit

Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety, 2021
Background: The most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy is hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. When conservative measures fail, providers often use medications to treat persistent hypoglycemia.

Diazoxide and Exercise Enhance Muscle Contraction during Obesity by Decreasing ROS Levels, Lipid Peroxidation, and Improving Glutathione Redox Status

Antioxidants, 2020
Obesity causes insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia which causes skeletal muscle dysfunction resulting in a decrease in contraction force and a reduced capacity to avoid fatigue, which overall, causes an increase in oxidative stress.

Effects of Mitochondrial ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel in Rats with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Its Association with the AKT/mTOR Pathway

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Myocardial infarction is associated with the autophagy and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, and the protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (AKT/mTOR) pathway plays a crucial role in this mechanism.

Kir1.1 and SUR1 are not implicated as subunits of an adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel involved in diazoxide cardioprotectionCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objective: The adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener diazoxide mimics ischemic preconditioning and is cardioprotective. Clarification of diazoxide's site and mechanism of action could lead to targeted pharmacologic therapies for ...
