1 19195630 Recent experimental and clinical data indicate that peripheral activation of cannabinoid CB1 receptors promotes insulin resistance and liver steatogenesis, two key steps in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
2 19933999 Cultured skeletal muscle cells were exposed to CB1 and/or CB2 pharmacological agonists/antagonists/inverse agonists, and the resulting effects on insulin-regulated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI 3-kinase)-protein kinase B (PKB) and extracellular signal-related kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2)-directed signaling were determined.
3 21099327 Activation of mouse ?-cell CB1 and CB2 receptors resulted in decreased cyclic AMP, increased calcium and potentiation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
4 21564460 The role of cannabinoid receptors in human islets of Langerhans has not been investigated in any detail, so the current study examined CB1 and CB2 receptor expression by human islets and the effects of pharmacological cannabinoid receptor agonists and antagonists on insulin secretion.
5 21564460 RT-PCR showed that both CB1 and CB2 receptors are expressed by human islets and immunohistochemistry indicated that receptor expression co-localized with insulin-expressing ?-cells.
6 21564460 Perifusion experiments using isolated human islets showed that insulin secretion was reversibly stimulated by both CB1 and CB2 receptor agonists, with CB1 receptor activation associated with increased basal secretion whereas CB2 receptors were coupled to initiation and potentiation of insulin secretion.
7 21564460 Antagonists at CB1 (N-(Piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide) and CB2 (N-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-1,2-dihydro-7-methoxy-2-oxo-8-(pentyloxy)-3-quinoline carboxamide) receptors failed to inhibit the stimulatory effects of the respective agonists and, unexpectedly, reversibly stimulated insulin secretion.
8 19903374 It has been recently reported that blockade of type 1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptors by specific antagonists or genetic manipulation alleviates dyslipidaemia, hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance in animal models of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
9 21633404 We analyzed whether common variants in the gene encoding CB1, CNR1, are associated with insulin resistance, risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) or coronary heart disease (CHD).
