The contrasting effects of two antimalarial drugs on insulin secretion [PDF]
Quinolines and artemisinins are the two most important antimalarial drugs worldwide. In addition to antimalarial effects, quinine has been extensively documented to directly stimulate insulin secretion, potentially causing hypoglycemia in malaria ...

Plasma kisspeptin levels are associated with insulin secretion in nondiabetic individuals [PDF]
To evaluate if plasma kisspeptin concentrations are associated with insulin secretion, as suggested by recent in vitro studies, independently of confounders. 261 nondiabetic subjects were stratified into tertiles according to kisspeptin values.

Molecular and Cellular Bases of Lipodystrophy Syndromes
Lipodystrophy syndromes are rare diseases originating from a generalized or partial loss of adipose tissue. Adipose tissue dysfunction results from heterogeneous genetic or acquired causes, but leads to similar metabolic complications with insulin ...

Heterozygous loss-of-function variants of the glucokinase (GCK) gene are responsible for a subtype of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY). GCK-MODY is characterized by a mild hyperglycemia, mainly due to a higher blood glucose threshold for ...

Insulin secretion assays in an engineered MIN6 cell line
Insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells is crucial for maintaining glucose homeostasis. The murine insulinoma derived MIN6 cell line is commonly used as a model for insulin secretion studies. However, its glucose responsiveness wanes with passaging,

Insulin secretion and insulin-producing tumors [PDF]
Insulinomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic islet cells that retain the ability to produce and secrete insulin. In contrast to normally differentiated β-cells, insulinoma cells continue to secrete insulin and proinsulin at low blood glucose. This deregulated insulin secretion manifests clinically as fasting hypoglycemia.

MiR-184 regulates insulin secretion through repression of Slc25a22 [PDF]
Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells plays an essential role in blood glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes. Many genes are involved in the secretion of insulin and most of these genes can be targeted by microRNAs (miRNAs).

Patterns of Insulin Secretion During First-Phase Insulin Secretion in Normal Chinese Adults
BackgroundThe increase in diabetes worldwide is alarming. Decreased acute insulin response to intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) during first-phase insulin secretion (FPIS) is a characteristic of diabetes.
