Berberine is an insulin secretagogue targeting the KCNH6 potassium channel
Nature Communications, 2021 Berberine is a compound with glucose-lowering effects in mice and humans. Here, the authors show that in mice berberine has beneficial glycemic effects by promoting insulin secretion, which requires the potassium channel KCNH6 in beta cells, and that ...

The synthesis of a small library of prospective growth hormone secretagogues [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 1999 Employing tools of combinatorial chemistry, an original methodological approach has been developed and applied for the design and synthesis of a small library of peptide-like compounds, prospective growth hormone (GH) secretagogues.

Activation of soluble adenylyl cyclase protects against secretagogue stimulated zymogen activation in rat pancreaic acinar cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 An early feature of acute pancreatitis is activation of zymogens, such as trypsinogen, within the pancreatic acinar cell. Supraphysiologic concentrations of the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK; 100 nM), or its orthologue cerulein (CER), induce zymogen ...

Adenylosuccinate Is an Insulin Secretagogue Derived from Glucose-Induced Purine Metabolism
Cell Reports, 2015 Pancreatic islet failure, involving loss of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from islet β cells, heralds the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D). To search for mediators of GSIS, we performed metabolomics profiling of the insulinoma cell line 832 ...

Central Effect of Ghrelin, an Endogenous Growth Hormone Secretagogue, on Hypothalamic Peptide Gene Expression [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2000 Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), was originally purified from the rat stomach. Like the synthetic GHSs, ghrelin specifically releases GH following intravenous administration.

The ups and downs of growth hormone secretagogue receptor signaling
The FEBS Journal, 2021 The growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) has emerged as one of the most fascinating molecules from the perspective of neuroendocrine control. GHSR is mainly expressed in the pituitary and the brain, and plays key roles regulating not only growth ...

GPR142 Agonists Stimulate Glucose-Dependent Insulin Secretion via Gq-Dependent Signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 GPR142 is an islet-enriched G protein-coupled receptor that has been investigated as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes by virtue of its insulin secretagogue activity.
