Monoamines' role in islet cell function and type 2 diabetes risk

Roberts, Fiona Louise LU ; Cataldo, Luis Rodrigo LU orcid and Fex, Malin LU (2023) In Trends in Molecular Medicine 29(12). p.1045-1058
Abstract

The two monoamines serotonin and melatonin have recently been highlighted as potent regulators of islet hormone secretion and overall glucose homeostasis in the body. In fact, dysregulated signaling of both amines are implicated in β-cell dysfunction and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Serotonin is a key player in β-cell physiology and plays a role in expansion of β-cell mass. Melatonin regulates circadian rhythm and nutrient metabolism and reduces insulin release in human and rodent islets in vitro. Herein, we focus on the role of serotonin and melatonin in islet physiology and the pathophysiology of T2DM. This includes effects on hormone secretion, receptor expression, genetic variants influencing β-cell function,... (More)
