摘要: ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are critical for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. They essential glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, contribute to mechanisms by which hypoglycaemia stimulates glucagon release α-cells, and involved in uptake into skeletal muscle, production liver, feeding behaviour. Not surprisingly, loss- or gain-of-function mutations KATP channel genes have profound effects, giving rise congenital hyperinsulinaemia neonatal diabetes respectively. This symposium review focuses on our current understanding role homeostasis health disease.
