Glutamic acid dimethyl ester (GME; 3.0-10.0 mM) enhanced insulin release evoked by 6.0-8.3 mM D-glucose, 1.0-10.0 mM L-leucine, or 5.0-10.0 mM 2-amino-bicyclo(2,2,1)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, causing a shift to the left of the sigmoidal relationship between insulin output and D-glucose concentration. In

The dimethyl esters of succinic acid (SAD) and glutamic acid (GME) were found to be efficiently metabolized in colon carcinoma cells of the Caco-2 line. The rate of [1,4-14C]SAD and [2,3-14C]SAD conversion to radioactive acidic metabolites, CO2, amino acids, pyruvic

This study aimed to compare the metabolic and secretory responses of pancreatic islets from animals with non-insulin-dependent diabetes to D-glucose with the effects of the methyl esters of succinic acid (SME) and glutamic acid (GME). The insulin secretory response to

We studied acute changes of secretory vesicle pH in pancreatic beta-cells with a fluorescent pH indicator, lysosensor green DND-189. Fluorescence was decreased by 0.66 +/- 0.10% at 149 +/- 16 s with 22.2 mM glucose stimulation, indicating that vesicular pH
Diabetes research and clinical practice, 27(1), 27-30 (1995-01-01)
The dimethyl ester of L-glutamic acid (GME) stimulates insulin release in isolated pancreatic islets and may represent a novel experimental tool in the study of non-insulin-dependent diabetes. In the present study, GME was found both to stimulate insulin secretion and
