Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

There was a statistically significant increase in plasma insulin concentrations during the quinine infusion and fall in plasma glucose concentration (P < 0.001).

Also, quinine has been reported to stimulate insulin release from cultured islet cells [9].

This study shows that chronic administration of quinine increases plasma insulin levels, accelerates disposal of oral or intravenous glucose but does not cause hypoglycaemia in normal rats.

Plasma insulin concentrations were significantly higher in the knife-cut animals and were reduced toward control levels by quinine treatment.

In the absence of glucose, 100 microM quinine stimulated 45Ca net uptake, 45Ca outflow rate and insulin release.

At higher concentrations (0.25-0.5 mM), quinine inhibited both 45Ca net uptake and insulin release.
It is proposed that the inhibitory effect of quinine , at high concentrations, upon insulin release may be due to a direct interference with the transport of Ca across the membrane system(s) in the islet cells.
