Regulatory role of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in pancreatic islet glucose metabolism remains unsettled. 1985

P T Burch, and D K Berner, and H Najafi, and M D Meglasson, and F M Matschinsky

Fructose-2,6-P2 was measured in perifused, isolated rat pancreatic islets. Fructose-2,6-P2 was present in pancreatic islets at low levels approximately equal to fructose-2,6-P2 content of liver from fasted rats. In islets perifused with glucose at physiologic concentrations, fructose-2,6-P2 was increased from 0.8 microM in the presence of 5.5 mM glucose to 1.0 microM at 10 mM glucose and 1.3 microM at 16.7 mM glucose, but did not increase further at higher glucose concentration. Therefore, only modest increases in the phosphofructokinase-1 activator, fructose-2,6-P2, occur at glucose concentrations stimulating insulin secretion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.
