HIV protease inhibitors acutely impair glucose-stimulated insulin release.
HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) acutely and reversibly inhibit the insulin-responsive glucose transporter Glut 4, leading to peripheral insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance. Minimal modeling analysis of glucose tolerance tests on PI-treated patients has revealed an impaired insulin secretory response, suggesting additional pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. To determine whether beta-c...
متن کاملMicroscale 3D Liver Bioreactor for In Vitro Hepatotoxicity Testing under Perfusion Conditions
The accurate prediction of hepatotoxicity demands validated human in vitro models that can close the gap between preclinical animal studies and clinical trials. In this study we investigated the response of primary human liver cells to toxic drug exposure in a perfused microscale 3D liver bioreactor. The cellularized bioreactors were treated with 5, 10, or 30 mM acetaminophen (APAP) used as a r...
متن کاملNephrin Is Expressed on the Surface of Insulin Vesicles and Facilitates Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Release
OBJECTIVE Nephrin, an immunoglobulin-like protein essential for the function of the glomerular podocyte and regulated in diabetic nephropathy, is also expressed in pancreatic beta-cells, where its function remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether diabetes modulates nephrin expression in human pancreatic islets and to explore the role of nephrin in beta-cell function. ...
متن کاملInsulin - stimulated glucose transport in muscle
The aim of our work was to investigate a possible role of protein kinase C (PKC) in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in mouse skeletal muscle, and to search for a defect in PKC activation in insulin resistance found in obesity. In isolated soleus muscle of lean mice, insulin (100 nM) and 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13acetate (TPA) (1 #M) acutely stimulated glucose uptake 3and 2-fold respectively...
متن کاملRho GTPases in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake
Insulin is secreted into blood vessels from β cells of pancreatic islets in response to high blood glucose levels. Insulin stimulates an array of physiological responses in target tissues, including liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue, thereby reducing the blood glucose level. Insulin-dependent glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue is primarily mediated by the redistributi...
