Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) currently affects almost 10% of the global population, accounting for thousands of amputations and deaths. In T2D, there is a failure in the secretion and signaling of insulin, in addition to an increase in the plasma concentration of glucagon, effects that contribute to the establishment of hyperglycemia. Several strategies have been used in the treatment o…
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is formed from the conjugation of bile acid ursodeoxycholic (UDCA) with the amino acid taurine (Tau). Besides the well-described actions on gastrointestinal function, the TUDCA contributes to the restoration of glucose homeostasis in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), regulation of energy metabolism and adiposity. Literature data indicate the action of TUDC…
In insulin secretion, the K+ ATP (KATP) and Ca2+-voltage (Cav)-sensitive channels play an important role in the generation and maintenance of the action potential that contributes for beta-cell stimulus/secretion coupling. Several evidences show that decreased expression or activity of these channels result in lower beta-cell responsiveness. In this way, our laboratory has studied the mec…
Type 2 diabetes is an epidemic disease worldwide characterized by impaired insulin action and secretion in tissues and pancreatic ² cells, respectively. The pancreatic ± cell is also disrupted during the course of type 2 diabetes development. Bile acids are cholesterol-derived molecules, which had beneficial effects upon carbohydrate metabolism. In this context, the taurine conjugated bil…
