Insulin secretion is modified by other nutrients, circulating hormones and the autonomic nervous system, as well as local paracrine and autocrine signals. Autocrine signalling involves diffusible molecules that bind to receptors on the same cell from which they have been released.
The panoply of candidates for paracrine and autocrine interactions. The list of putative paracrine and autocrine signals in pancreatic islets keeps growing. Although not discussed here, the hormones glucagon, insulin, and somatostatin also serve as local signaling molecules.
