There are three sources of free fatty acids (FFA) 1) exogenously-derived FFAs, 2) endogenously-synthesized FFAs (de novo lipogenesis (DNL)) and 3) release from internal triglyceride stores. DNL occurs primarily in liver cells, however, many tissue types are able to produce limited amounts of lipid. The role of this small amount of DNL in these cell types is not completely understood. For example, insulin secreting cells of the pancreas express enzymes that lead to DNL in proportion to the amount of glucose exposure. This glucose driven DNL has been proposed to be important in generating metabolic signaling molecules important for regulating insulin exocytosis. It has also been suggested that glycerolipid (GL)/ FFA cycling from internal triglyceride stores may also play a role in the regulation of insulin release. Inhibition of this cycling suppresses FFA augmentation of glucose-stimulated insulin release. We have published results showing that the effects of manipulating four key enzymes (PC, CL, ACC and FAS) and three metabolic carriers (pyruvate carrier, citrate carrier and dicarboxylate carrier) that are involved in DNL lead to conflicting results for and against a role of DNL in regulating insulin exocytosis. We will continue to investigate the role of DNL in the regulation of glucose-stimulated insulin release using newly developed tools in the lab. We have also identified several glucose derived endogenous lipid species that may be critical for regulating biphasic insulin secretion using a metabolomics approach. A number of questions arise from these metabolomics studies for example what is the source of these glucose derived endogenous lipids (e.g. release from triglyceride (TG) stores or from DNL) and how might these lipids be involved in regulating biphasic insulin release. We will expand on these studies to further investigate the role of endogenous lipids in the regulation of biphasic insulin release.

游离脂肪酸（FFA）有三种来源：1）外源性FFA，2）内源性合成FFA（从头脂肪生成（DNL））和3）从内部甘油三酯储存释放。DNL主要发生在肝细胞中，然而，许多组织类型能够产生有限量的脂质。这种少量DNL在这些细胞类型中的作用尚未完全了解。例如，胰腺的胰岛素分泌细胞表达与葡萄糖暴露量成比例的导致DNL的酶。已经提出这种葡萄糖驱动的DNL在产生对调节胰岛素胞吐作用重要的代谢信号分子中是重要的。也有人认为，来自内部甘油三酯储存的甘油酯（GL）/ FFA循环也可能在胰岛素释放的调节中发挥作用。这种循环的抑制抑制FFA增加葡萄糖刺激的胰岛素释放。我们已经发表的结果显示，操纵参与DNL的四种关键酶（PC、CL、ACC和FAS）和三种代谢载体（丙酮酸载体、柠檬酸载体和二羧酸载体）的作用导致了与DNL在调节胰岛素胞吐中的作用相矛盾的结果。我们将继续研究DNL在葡萄糖刺激的胰岛素释放的调节中的作用，使用实验室新开发的工具。我们还鉴定了几种葡萄糖衍生的内源性脂质物质，它们可能是使用代谢组学方法调节双相胰岛素分泌的关键。这些代谢组学研究产生了许多问题，例如这些葡萄糖衍生的内源性脂质的来源是什么（例如从甘油三酯（TG）储存或从DNL释放）以及这些脂质如何参与调节双相胰岛素释放。我们将在这些研究的基础上进一步研究内源性脂质在双相胰岛素释放调节中的作用。
