1	11289045	The data are compatible with a role of UCP2 and partial mitochondrial uncoupling in the decreased secretory response to glucose observed after chronic exposure of the beta-cell to elevated fatty acids, and suggest that the expression and/or activity of the protein may modulate insulin secretion in response to glucose.
2	11904148	Leptin decreased UCP-2 expression by up to 75%, and maximally inhibited insulin release by 47%, at 22 mmol/l glucose.
3	15654602	Adenine nucleotides, mitochondrial membrane potential, the expression of UCP-2, complex I and complex V of the respiratory chain, and nitrotyrosine levels were evaluated and correlated with insulin secretion.
4	15654602	In particular, UCP-2 expression is increased (probably due to a condition of fuel overload), which leads to lower ATP, decreased ATP/ADP ratio, with consequent reduction of insulin release.
5	16075814	On the other hand, the uncoupling induced by UCP2 in mitochondria of pancreatic beta cells decreases ATP synthesis and impairs insulin secretion in response to glucose.
6	16098828	Microarray analyses of beta cell lines reveal that Sirt1 regulates genes involved in insulin secretion, including uncoupling protein 2 (Ucp2).
7	16766189	Reproduction of this phenotype, by mutating the same enzyme in another strain with normal glucose tolerance, suggests that the mechanism of the transhydrogenase-dependent inhibition of insulin secretion involves a partial uncoupling by the UCP2 protein.
8	17052202	In ob/ob mice, induction of UCP2 at age 5 weeks precedes development of insulin secretion defects and hyperglycaemia.
9	17508912	Losartan selectively inhibited oxidative stress via downregulation of NADPH oxidase; this in turn suppressed UCP2 expression, thus improving beta-cell insulin secretion and decreasing apoptosis-induced beta-cell mass loss in db/db mouse islets.
10	18458149	Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) also plays a crucial role in the palmitate inhibition of insulin secretion, as confirmed by knockdown experiments, but SREBP-1c contribution to UCP-2 regulation was partial.
11	20719094	Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is a member of the uncoupling protein family, which is localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and negatively regulates insulin secretion in the pancreatic ?-cells.
12	21172424	Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by pancreatic ? cells is regulated by mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2), but opposing phenotypes, GSIS improvement and impairment, have been reported for different Ucp2-ablated mouse models.
13	15677507	To investigate effects of this synthetic lipid regulator on insulin secretion, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing nuclear SREBP-1c under the insulin promoter. beta-Cell-specific expression of SREBP-1c caused reduction in islet mass and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and was associated with accumulation of triglycerides, suppression of pancreas duodenal homeobox-1, and upregulation of uncoupling protein 2 gene expression.
14	16951721	Our preliminary studies found that the extracts of American ginseng inhibit UCP-2 expression which may contribute to the ability of ginseng protecting beta cell death and improving insulin synthesis.
15	16951721	Therefore, we hypothesized that ginseng extracts suppress UCP-2 in the mitochondria of pancreatic beta cells, promoting insulin synthesis and anti-apoptosis (a programmed cell-death mechanism).
16	16951721	We found that ginseng suppresses UCP-2, down-regulates caspase-9 while increasing ATP and insulin production/secretion and up-regulates Bcl-2, reducing apoptosis.
17	16951721	These findings suggest that stimulation of insulin production and prevention of beta cell loss by American ginseng extracts can occur via the inhibition of mitochondrial UCP-2, resulting in increase in the ATP level and the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, while down-regulation of pro-apoptotic factor caspase-9 occurs, lowering the occurrence of apoptosis, which support the hypothesis.
18	21779625	Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is expressed in several tissues, and acts in the protection against oxidative stress; in the negative regulation of insulin secretion by beta cells, and in fatty acid metabolism.
19	22045262	Inhibition of Ucp2, in isolated islets, leads to a rescue of the glucose-induced ATP production and insulin secretion in Bmal1-/- islets.
