Schematic of GLP-1-modulated beta cell energetics. Glycolytic metabolism of glucose stimulates insulin secretion through increases in [ATP/ADP]cyto and cAMP, leading to opening of VDCC and Ca2+ influx, the latter reinforcing ATP synthesis. GLP-1 augments glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by increasing cAMP input, leading to potentiated [ATP/ADP]cyto rises and Ca2+ influx.
