The mitochondrion of the insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cell is a biochemical beehive in which the products of glucose oxidation influence the secretion of insulin. Work with cultured islets has shown that a mitochondrial ion carrier termed uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) affects glucose-stimulated insulin levels. A recent report demonstrated that in mice with a disabledUCP-2gene, insulin secretion was enhanced and blood levels of glucose were reduced. When the gene was knocked out inob/obmice, which are obese, insulin-resistant, and diabetic, insulin secretion increased and the hyperglycemia was ameliorated.
