  • Title: Mechanism of 3-phenylpyruvate-induced insulin release from isolated pancreatic islets.
    Author: Panten U, Langer J.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1981 Aug 15; 198(2):353-6. PubMed ID: 7034729.
    Abstract:
    3-Phenylpyruvate evoked a monophasic insulin release from perifused mouse islets. L-Phenylalanine was not an insulin secretagogue and was oxidized by islets at a very low rate, suggesting that 3-phenylpyruvate does not trigger insulin release by enhancing production of reducing equivalents. Moreover, allosteric activation of glutamate dehydrogenase does not play a role in 3-phenylpyruvate-induced insulin secretion.
