1 Insulin increases the potency of glycine at ionotropic glycine receptors. Glycine insulin Homo sapiens
2 Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings showed that insulin reversibly enhanced current evoked by exogenous glycine and increased the amplitude of spontaneous glycinergic miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents recorded in cultured spinal neurons. Glycine insulin Homo sapiens
3 Insulin (1 microM) also shifted the glycine concentration-response plot to the left and reduced the glycine EC(50) value from 52 to 31 microM. Glycine insulin Homo sapiens
4 Together, these results show that insulin has a novel regulatory action on the potency of glycine for ionotropic glycine receptors. Glycine insulin Homo sapiens
