title: Insulinotropin PACAP potentiates insulin action. Stimulation of glucose uptake in 3T3-LI adipocytes.
abstract: PAC1 receptor was expressed in the rat fat tissue and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. PACAP-38 (10 nM) significantly enhanced insulin induced 2-deoxyglucose uptake by 3T3-L1 adipocytes. GLP-1 has a similar effect. PACAP-38 further increased insulin stimulated phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity, but has not effect on tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor beta-subunit or IRS-1. These results reveal that PACAP-38 enhances insulin induced glucose uptake, an effect probably mediated by PI 3-kinase. In conclusion, PACAP potentiates not only insulin secretion but also insulin action in adipocytes, thereby exhibiting antidiabetic actions at two important steps of glucose metabolism (Fig. 2).
