The G-Protein-Coupled Long-Chain Fatty Acid Receptor GPR40 and Glucose Metabolism

Free fatty acids (FFAs) play a pivotal role in metabolic control and cell signaling processes in various tissues. In particular, FFAs are known to augment glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells, where fatty acid-derived metabolites, such as long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs, are beli...
