pubmed:abstractText
Pancreatic islets from ob/ob mice incubated with 3H2O and 5.5 mM glucose formed 3H-labeled glucose, 74 picoatoms incorporated/islet/h. Sixty-three percent of the 3H was bound to carbon 2 of the glucose. The amount of glucose-6-P dephosphorylated to glucose, determined from this incorporation, was 48 pmol/islet/h. Glucose utilization, measured by the formation of 3H2O from [5-3H]glucose, was 72 pmol/islet/h. The amount of glucose dephosphorylated was then about 40% of that phosphorylated. Thus, glucose-6-P is dephosphorylated to glucose to a significant extent by intact islets in vitro and presumably by the beta cells of the islets. The extent of this glucose cycling, i.e. glucose----glucose-6-P----glucose, may play a role in determining the extent of glucose-induced insulin secretion.
