Glucose evoked regulation of Na,K-ATPase activity in pancreatic beta-cells

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, me...
