Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Abstract The pentose D-ribose is known to cause a prompt release of insulin when administered to human beings and other mammals.
This suggests the possibility that the rate of disposition of insulin in the liver may be increased by the metabolism of carbohydrates such as ribose.

Among monosaccharides, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, D-galactosamine, L-fucose, N-acetylneuraminic acid and D-ribose decreased insulin release and had no effect on insulin release by D-glucose.

It has also been found in experiments in vitro that D-ribose markedly stimulates the secretion of insulin by isolated rat islets of Langerhans7.
We now report that the infusion of D-ribose in the rabbit causes an increase in plasma insulin concentration which precedes the decrease in blood glucose concentration in a fairly uniform manner.

Summary The administration of D-ribose was followed quickly by a sharp rise in plasma insulin levels in 9 awake, alert, unstressed dogs (16 experiments).
