the cellular array of messenger molecules. ATP is particularly important, given
its role in regulating cation channel activity, exocytosis, and events ... Cited by 206 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions

in large part, by pancreatic β cells which secrete insulin in proportion to
increasing concentrations of glucose. Insulin lowers blood glucose by ... Cited by 455 - Related articles - All 15 versions
CB Chan, PE MacDonald, MC Saleh, DC Johns … - Diabetes, 1999 - Am Diabetes Assoc Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) mRNA expression has been shown to be altered by
metabolic conditions such as obesity in humans, but its functional significance
is unknown. The expression of UCP-2 mRNA and protein in normal rat islets ... Cited by 164 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 6 versions
N Lameloise, P Muzzin, M Prentki, F … - Diabetes, 2001 - Am Diabetes Assoc The mechanism by which long-term exposure of the β-cell to elevated
concentrations of fatty acid alters glucose-induced insulin secretion has been
examined. Exposure of INS-1 β-cells to 0.4 mmol/l oleate for 72 h ... Cited by 172 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
JW Joseph, V Koshkin, CY Zhang, J Wang, … - Diabetes, 2002 - Am Diabetes Assoc Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) may act as an important regulator of insulin
secretion. In this study, β-cell function in UCP2-deficient mice was examined
after a 45% high-fat diet (HFD) to assess its role during the development ... Cited by 119 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
G Patanè, M Anello, S Piro, R Vigneri, F … - Diabetes, 2002 - Am Diabetes Assoc In rat pancreatic islets chronically exposed to high glucose or high free fatty

AV Medvedev, J Robidoux, X Bai, W Cao, LM … - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002 - ASBMB Current evidence suggests that uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) is a regulator of
insulin secretion. It is also known that chronic exposure of pancreatic islets
to free fatty acids (FFAs) blunts glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and ... Cited by 75 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
