Abstract
Background: External application of a Ca2+-mobilizing messenger, NAADP, toβ-cells activates intracellular Ca2+ changes and stimulates insulin secretion. Results: NAADP is transported into adipocytes and β-cells in a glucose-dependent manner and is also released from pancreatic islets upon stimulation by high glucose. Conclusion: NAADP functions in an auto-/paracrine manner to regulate glucose homeostasis. Significance: NAADP can be exploited as a potential antidiabetic agent.
