Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase: a link between insulin secretion, glucose metabolism and oxidative stress.

This paper reviews recent studies on the role of Nnt (nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase) in insulin secretion and detoxification of ROS (reactive oxygen species). Glucose-stimulated insulin release from pancreatic beta-cells is mediated by increased metabolism. This elevates intracellular [AT...
