“It has been demonstrated that adenosine , through activation of P1 receptors present on adipocytes and pancreatic islets cells, inhibits the release of insulin.”
“As we have observed previously with glucagon and catecholamines, inhibition of insulin action by VIP was observed only when accumulation of adenosine in the incubation medium was prevented by addition of adenosine deaminase.”

“Incubation of human and rat hepatoma cells with insulin (1 mU/10(6) cells) decreases their content of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate by more than half after 1 h and by about a quarter after 4 h. 2.”

“Accumulating evidence highlights a critical role for the adenosine system in the regulation of insulin and glucose homeostasis and the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D).”
“Removal of adenosine brought about a small but significant increase in the concentration of insulin required for half-maximal stimulation of glucose transport.”

“ Insulin induced the release of adenosine trisphosphate (ATP), adenosine , and serotonin from platelet-dense granules in a NO-dependent manner.”
“Thus, insulin elicits the release of vasoactive concentrations of ATP and adenosine from human platelets via a NO–G kinase–dependent signaling cascade.”
