“In this study, glucose homeostasis, as measured by glucose and insulin tolerance tests, was significantly impaired by rapamycin in both inbred (C57BL/6) and genetically heterogeneous (UT-HET3) mice.”
“ Rapamycin had potential to increase cell survival and significantly decreased the total levels of oxidative stress markers after cell exposure to 30mM glucose (p<0.05).”
“ Rapamycin potentially improved the detrimental effect of 30mM glucose on cell migration and tubulogenesis capacity (p<0.05).”

“Our results revealed … intraperitoneal administration of glucose induced hyperglycemia for … vehicle and rapamycin treatments, which peaked at 2 h. Plasma glucose level in vehicle-treated fish was significantly higher than in …-treated fish at 8 and 17 h, whereas it remained at the basal level in rapamycin-treated fish.”

“In direct support of SAD-A as a unique mediator of mTORC1 signaling in islet β-cells, we demonstrate that glucose dramatically stimulated SAD-A protein translation in isolated mouse islets, which was potently inhibited by rapamycin , an inhibitor of mTORC1.”
“Glucose oxidation, which indicates the velocity of metabolism in the Krebs cycle, was decreased by rapamycin in the presence of 16.7 mM glucose (30.1+/-2.7, rapamycin versus 42.2+/-3.3 pmol/islet per 90 min, control, n=9, P<0.01).”
“The reduction in cellular ATP caused by glucose depletion were exacerbated by the inhibitors but mitigated by rapamycin , suggesting that inhibition of autophagy may accelerate energy depletion, leading to necrosis.”
