Insulin secretion to glucose infusion in gestational diabetes subjects with differing DNA polymorphisms flanking the insulin gene. 1987

A Samanta, and A C Burden, and N I Jowett, and D J Galton, and J P Hosker, and R C Turner

Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was assessed in relation to the DNA polymorphism flanking the insulin gene in 16 women who had had gestational diabetes. When not pregnant they were studied by a Constant Glucose Infusion for 1 hr with Model Assessment (CIGMA). The patients with either heterozygous 1/3 alleles or homozygous 1/1 or 3/3 alleles in the 5' flanking region of the insulin gene had similar plasma insulin and C-peptide concentrations and similar estimates of beta-cell function. This suggests that the large DNA insert (Class 3 allele) near the insulin gene does not directly affect insulin secretion. The association of polymorphisms with Type 2 diabetes may be due to linkage disequilibrium with other disease-related alleles.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
