Possible Interaction: Adrenergic Alpha-Agonists and Glucose

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Inhibition of insulin secretion with the Ca(2+) channel blocker verapamil, the ATP-sensitive K(+) channel opener diazoxide, or the alpha(2)-adrenergic agonist clonidine blocked the effects of glucose on L-PK gene transcription.
The Journal of biological chemistry  •  2000  |  View Paper
These results suggest that insulin and somatostatin secretions induced by glucose are inhibited during SNS through the alpha-adrenergic mechanism and also that the beta-adrenergic mechanism exerts a stimulatory action.
The American journal of physiology  •  1990  |  View Paper
The alpha 2-adrenergic agonist clonidine (1 microM), low extracellular calcium (less than or equal to 0.5 mM), and extended culture of RIN-38 cells at low glucose concentrations (0.33 mM) inhibited the stimulatory effect of glucose on insulin secretion.
