Lovastatin 37-47 insulin Mesocricetus auratus 117-124 8424783-3 1993 We have examined protein isoprenylation, subcellular distribution of SMGs, cytosolic Ca2+ changes and insulin secretion in HIT-T15 cells after treatment with lovastatin, which inhibits the production of isoprenoids by blocking mevalonate production by 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. Lovastatin 158-168 insulin Mesocricetus auratus 102-109 8424783-7 1993 Lovastatin selectively attenuated the potentiating action of bombesin and vasopressin, which activate phospholipase C in these cells, on insulin secretion stimulated by nutrients (glucose + leucine + glutamine). Lovastatin 0-10 insulin Mesocricetus auratus 137-144 8424783-13 1993 In conclusion, lovastatin selectively attenuated the potentiation of nutrient-induced insulin secretion by bombesin and vasopressin without affecting their activation of phospholipase C. The concomitant changes in SMG isoprenylation and their subcellular distribution after lovastatin treatment suggest that SMGs could play an important role in the bombesin and vasopressin action on insulin secretion. Lovastatin 15-25 insulin Mesocricetus auratus 86-93 8424783-13 1993 In conclusion, lovastatin selectively attenuated the potentiation of nutrient-induced insulin secretion by bombesin and vasopressin without affecting their activation of phospholipase C. The concomitant changes in SMG isoprenylation and their subcellular distribution after lovastatin treatment suggest that SMGs could play an important role in the bombesin and vasopressin action on insulin secretion.
