“ Homocysteine also dose-dependently inhibited insulinotropic responses to a range of glucose-dependent secretagogues including nutrients (alanine, arginine, 2-ketoisocaproate), hormones (glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36)amide, gastric inhibitory polypeptide and cholecystokinin-8), neurotransmitter (carbachol), drug ( tolbutamide ) as well as a depolarising concentration of KCl or elevated Ca2+.”
“Insulinotropic responses to alanine, arginine, 2-ketoisocaproate, elevated Ca2+, tolbutamide , potassium chloride (KCl), forskolin, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate were also significantly reduced by homocysteine.”
