Comment | Glucose not only directly stimulates insulin secretion from beta-cells via its metabolism but also modulates the action of several other effectors, including free fatty acids, amino acids and incretin hormones (group of hormones secreted in response to nutrients from a meal, e.g. glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)). |

Comment | For most mammalian cells, fatty acid metabolism is mainly controlled by substrate supply. In the fasted state, fatty acids are converted into long-chain acyl-CoA by acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) and enter the mitochondria via carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (CPT-1), where they are oxidised via the beta-oxidation pathway for energy production, maintaining the basal levels of insulin secretion. After a carbohydrate-containing meal, fatty acid oxidation is inhibited, since the regulatory molecule malonyl-CoA is synthesised by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) from an acetate group derived from citrate which is elevated following synthesis from glucose and/or amino acids. Malonyl-CoA inhibits CPT-1, thus blocking transport of long chain acyl-CoA into the mitochondria. |

|
Comment | Accumulation of long chain acyl-CoA in the cytosol leads to an increase of intracellular Ca2+ levels and to changes in acylation state of proteins involved both in regulation of ion channel activity and exocytosis. In addition, long-chain acyl-CoA can also enhance the fusion of insulin-secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane and insulin release. |

Comment | Effects of fatty acids on glucose-induced insulin secretion are directly correlated with chain length and the degree of unsaturation, where long-chain fatty acids (such as palmitate or linoleate) acutely increase but chronically reduce insulin release in response to glucose stimulation. Chronic incubation (24 hours) of beta-cells with a polyunsaturated fatty acid (arachidonic acid) increased insulin secretion while, on the other hand, exposure of a clonal pancreatic beta-cell line (BRIN-BD11) for 24 hours to a saturated fatty acid (palmitic acid) resulted in inhibition of insulin secretion. |

Specifically, mitochondrial metabolism is crucial for the coupling of amino acid and glucose recognition to exocytosis of insulin granules. |

Comment | L-glutamine is rapidly taken up and metabolised by islets, however, alone it does not stimulate insulin secretion or enhance glucose-induced insulin secretion. Activation of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) by addition of leucine enhances insulin secretion by increasing the entry of glutamine carbon into the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from glutamine has been proposed as an explanation for the paradox that glutamine alone does not stimulate insulin release. Under this scheme, glutamine is preferentially metabolised to GABA and L-aspartate. There is no oxidation of glutamine in the process and thus stimulus-secretion coupling via ATP would be minimal. |

Comment | In RINm5F cells, the insulinotropic action of L-alanine has been reported to be a result of co-transport with Na+, which resulted in membrane depolarisation leading to an increase in intracellular Ca2+. Additionally, by use of the respiratory poison oligomycin, the metabolism and oxidation of alanine were shown to be important for its ability to stimulate insulin secretion. |

Comment | Homocysteine can inhibit insulin section. Homocysteine is a sulfhydryl-containing amino acid formed during the metabolism of methionine and which can be taken up by cells mainly via cysteine transporters. The effects of homocysteine were not limited to glucose but also impaired amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion. |

Comment | A novel mechanism by which homocysteine blunts insulin secretion is by its effect on NO production. Homocysteine is a known precursor of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), which is an endogenous methylated amino acid that inhibits the constitutive endothelial and neuronal isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) but a less potent inhibitor of the iNOS isoform. Homocysteine is also an inhibitor of the enzyme dimethylarginine dimethylhydrolase (DDAH), a key regulatory enzyme which metabolises ADMA. Thus homocysteine is capable of inducing a further increment in ADMA and therefore decreasing the availability of NO. Since a constant low production of NO is essential for insulin secretion and beta-cell function, homocysteine may cause further damage. |
