Normal Insulin Secretion in Humans

Abstract: Normal insulin secretion in humans is mainly regulated by glucose, but additional factors including other nutrients, hormones, and neural input play an important role. In the basal state, insulin is released in a rapid pulsatile manner, with pulses occurring every 6–10 min. These pulses are superimposed on an oscillatory pattern of 11–15 oscillations per 24 h. Dynamic insulin release also occurs in response to stimuli. The insulin response to intravenous glucose has been shown to have two distinct phases: an e… Show more

“…The autonomous nervous system modulates islet hormone release; secretion of insulin is stimulated by vagal nerve fibers and inhibited by sympathetic nerve fibers. Several other pancreatic and extra-pancreatic hormones, such as IAPP, glucagon, somatostatin, cortisol, and growth hormone (GH), affect insulin secretion directly or indirectly (Flatt, 2003;Persaud and Howell, 2003;Utzschneider et al, 2004).…”

“…β‐cell function is regulated by numerous nutrient, neural and hormonal factors that act to stimulate or inhibit insulin production (Table 1) (7,8); glucose, glucagon and the incretin hormones, such as GLP‐1 and glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), play major roles in this regard. Under normal conditions, insulin secretion from the β cell occurs in a glucose‐dependent manner – this relationship is maintained even when glucose levels exceed physiological levels.…”
