Glucose is the most important physiological insulin secretagogue. However, the mechanism of glucose-induced insulin release is not fully understood. The current dogma states that, in pancreatic -cell, glucose metabolism leads to an increase of ATP/ADP ratio, closure of ATP-sensitive K+ channels, membrane depolarization, opening of the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ influx which triggers insulin exocy...
