Pancreatic Brsk2 amplifies parasympathetic signals to promote type 2 diabetes
2021-08-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) modulates postprandial glucose metabolism via innervating pancreas; however, its significance in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) remains unclear. Here we show that brain-specific serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (Brsk2), accumulated in obese mouse islets, responds to PNS activation and initiates pre-absorptive insulin release. In inducible mou...
