2-Ketocaproate and 2-ketoisocaproate were equally potent insulin secretagogues. The insulin secretory potency of L-leucine was less than half of that of the keto acids and L-norleucine did not induce any insulin release by isolated islets and by the perfused pancreas
S Lenzen et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 260(23), 12629-12634 (1985-10-15)
High aminotransferase activities catalyzing the reactions between L-glutamate and L-glutamine and the aliphatic ketomonocarboxylic acids 2-ketoisocaproate, 2-ketocaproate, and 2-ketoisovalerate were observed in pancreatic B-cell mitochondria. While maximal rates of transamination with L-glutamate were observed in the presence of micromolar concentrations
W J Malaisse
Diabete & metabolisme, 9(4), 313-320 (1983-12-01)
Insulin release evoked by nutrient secretagogues invariably coincides with an increase in the catabolism of exogenous and/or endogenous nutrients in pancreatic islet cells, resulting in an increased generation rate of reducing equivalents and ATP, and an increase in O2 consumption.
S A Metz
The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 238(3), 809-818 (1986-09-01)
Activation of an islet phospholipase A2 may contribute to glucose-induced insulin release. In order to simulate the accumulation of the resultant hydrolytic products (arachidonic acid, AA; its lipoxygenase-derived oxygenation product 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid; and lysophospholipids) without many of the other concomitants
S Nissen et al.
Analytical biochemistry, 188(1), 17-19 (1990-07-01)
A method for measuring the branched chain hydroxy acid beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl butyrate (HMB, a product of leucine catabolism) has been described. A [2H6]HMB internal standard was added to plasma and standards, and samples were extracted with diethyl ether, backextracted into neutral
