abstract：:Sulfonylureas and glinides are commonly used oral insulin secretagogues (ISs) that act on the pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel to promote insulin secretion in order to lower the blood glucose level. Physiologically, KATP channels are inhibited by intracellular ATP and activated by Mg-ADP. Therefore, t...
