Abstract excerpt
Impaired glucose stimulated insulin secretion is a prominent, early defect in type 2 diabetes. Insulin secretion is coupled to glucose metabolism by effects of the intracellular ATP/ADP ratio on the multimeric beta-cell potassium channel. The sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1 or ABCC8), the regulatory...
