New evidence for a role of melatonin in glucose regulation
Abstract
Glucose triggers insulin secretion of the pancreatic β-cells. The pineal hormone melatonin interferes in this process by inhibiting secretion and transmitting circadian timing information to the islets. Circadian insulin secretion is adapted to day/night changes through melatonin-dependent synchronization. In rats and mice, melatonin levels are high during the dark period, which is their active feeding period, while, in humans, melatonin levels are high during the overnight fasting and sleeping period. This implies a different read-out of melatonin signaling in day-active species, including man. Dysregulation of circadian secretion may be a key to the increase of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This review discusses the impact of melatonin on insulin secretion transmitted through both the pertussis-toxin-sensitive membrane receptors MT1 (MTNR1a) and MT2 (MTNR1b) and the second messengers cAMP, cGMP and IP3. This is an important topic since, in several genetic association studies, single nucleotide polymorphisms of the human MT2-receptor have been described as being causally linked with an elevated risk of developing T2D. This article summarizes interrelationships between melatonin and insulin in type 1 diabetic (T1D) and type 2 diabetic (T2D) rats and humans.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
