Nitrites 18-25 glucokinase Rattus norvegicus 84-95 34326021-8 2021 CONCLUSION: Stimulatory effect of nitrite on insulin secretion in Type 2 diabetic rats is at least in part due to increased gene expression of molecules involved in glucose sensing (glucokinase), calcium sensing (synaptotagmin III), and exocytosis of insulin vesicles (syntaxin1A, SNAP25, and Munc18b) as well as increased expression of insulin genes.
