“…Glucose is the main regulator of insulin secretion but β cells also respond to other nutrients, including amino acids, 3,4 fatty acids, 5,6 and ketone bodies. 7,8 In addition, neurohormonal signals, such as acetylcholine, 9 serotonin, [10][11][12] dopamine, 10 y-aminobutyric acid (GABA), [13][14][15] melatonin, 16,17 glucagon, 18 somatostatin, 18 glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) [19][20][21] and gastric insulinotropic peptide (GIP) 21 are important regulators of insulin secretion. Of note, most physiological potentiators of βcell hormone secretion act in a glucose-dependent manner as a safety mechanism to prevent hypoglycemia.…”
