The Role of Long-Chain Fatty Acyl-CoA Esters in beta-Cell Signal Transduction 1,2

ABSTRACT Glucose-induced insulin secretion is associated with inhibition of free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation, increased esterification and complex lipid formation by pancreatic beta-cells. Abundant evidence favors a role for cytosolic long-chain acyl-CoA (LC-CoA), including the rapid rise in malonyl CoA, the inhibitory effect of hydroxycitrate or acetyl CoA carboxylase knockout, both of which prevent malonyl CoA formation, and the stimulatory effect of exogenous FFA. On the other hand, some evidence opposes the ...
