Sulfonylurea action re‐revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sulfonylureas (SU), commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), stimulate insulin secretion by inhibiting adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive K(+) (KATP) channels in pancreatic β-cells. SU are now known to also activate cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) sensor Epac2 (cAMP-GEFII) to Rap1 signaling, which promotes insulin secretion. The different effects of various SU on Epac2/Rap1 signaling, as well as KATP channels in different tissues, underlie the diverse pancreatic and extra-pancreatic actions of SU.

Communication Strategies Revisited: Looking beyond Interactional and Psycholinguistic Perspectives
Second language (L2) communication strategies (CSs) have traditionally been dealt with through either interactional or psychological perspectives. However, this paper is a critical attempt to question the status of the particular kinds of psycholinguistic and interactional approaches that currently dominate the field of second language acquisition (SLA). In this way, it expands the significance...
متن کاملKinetics-effect relations of insulin-releasing drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes: brief overview.
Sulfonylureas and glinides have similar mechanisms of action but differ in receptor affinity and binding sites and in absorption and elimination rates. This promotes differences in potency, rate of onset, and duration of action. While prominent in single-dose studies, these differences have less importance during long-term sulfonylurea treatment: at ordinary dosages, rapid- and short-acting (gl...
متن کاملInsulinotropic effect of high potassium concentration beyond plasma membrane depolarization.
The question whether K⁺ depolarization is an appropriate experimental substitute for the physiological nutrient-induced depolarization of the β-cell plasma membrane was investigated using primary mouse β-cells and islets. At basal glucose 40 mM K⁺ induced a massive monophasic response, whereas 15 mM K⁺ had only a minimal insulinotropic effect, even though the increase in the cytosolic Ca²⁺ conc...
متن کاملIn vitro insulinotropic action of a new non-sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent, calcium (2s)-2-benzyl-3-(cis-hexahydro-2-isoindolinyl-carbonyl) propionate dihydrate (KAD-1229), in rat pancreatic B-cells.
We examined the in vitro insulinotropic action of a novel non-sulfonylurea compound, calcium (2S)-2-benzyl-3-(cis-hexahydro-2-isoindolinyl-carbonyl) propionate dihydrate (KAD-1229), which is a succinate derivative, using rat pancreatic islets and perfused pancreas. The sodium salt of KAD-1229 free acid (KAD-1229-Na) stimulated insulin secretion from isolated rat islets and perfused rat pancreas...
متن کاملThe stimulatory action of tolbutamide on Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in pancreatic beta cells is mediated by a 65-kDa mdr-like P-glycoprotein.
Intracellular application of the sulfonylurea tolbutamide during whole-cell patch-clamp recordings stimulated exocytosis >5-fold when applied at a cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration of 0.17 microM. This effect was not detectable in the complete absence of cytoplasmic Ca2+ and when exocytosis was elicited by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS). The stimulatory action could be antagonized...
