The aim of the present research was to explore the mechanisms underlying the role of dopamine in the regulation of insulin secretion in beta cells. The effect of dopamine on insulin secretion was investigated on INS 832/13 cell line upon glucose and other secretagogues stimulation. Results show that dopamine significantly inhibits insulin secretion stimulated by both glucose and other secretagogues, while it has no effect on the basal secretion. This effect requires the presence of dopamine during incubation with the various secretagogues. Both electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry indicate that in beta cells the D dopamine receptor is localized within the insulin granules. Blocking dopamine entry into the insulin granules by inhibiting the VMAT2 transporter with tetrabenazine causes a significant increase in ROS production. Our results confirm that dopamine plays an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells through a regulated and precise compartmentalization mechanisms.

Background: Flavonoids are naturally occurring dietary phytochemicals with significant antioxidant effects aside from several health benefits. People often consume them in combination with other food components. Compiling data establishes a link between bioactive flavonoids and prevention of several diseases in animal models, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, gut dysbiosis, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

The Cullin-3 E3 ligase adaptor protein SPOP targets proteins for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. We previously established the β-cell transcription factor (TF) and human diabetes gene PDX1 as an SPOP substrate, suggesting a functional role for SPOP in the β cell. Here, we generated a β-cell-specific deletion mouse strain ( ) and found that is necessary to prevent aberrant basal insulin secretion and for maintaining glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through impacts on glycolysis and glucose-stimulated calcium flux.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex condition characterised by the interaction between insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction. C-peptide, a key biomarker of endogenous insulin secretion, has a role in diagnosing type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, its utility in T2D has not been extensively studied.

Background: Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM) is a severe subtype of type 1 diabetes characterized by rapid onset, metabolic disturbances, and irreversible insulin secretion failure. Recent studies have suggested associations between FT1DM and certain medications, warranting further investigation.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze drugs associated with an increased risk of FT1DM using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
