It may act primarily on insulin delivered by luminal uptake and it is most active when supraphysiological levels of insulin are present (Rabkin et al., 1984)
These effects have been recently associated with several molecular pathways [10,11,20,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66], in particular with the increased expression and internalization of VEGFR2, and the activation of the VEGFR2-Akt-eNOS signaling pathway [60,61], interacting particularly with the NO [49] and prostaglandins systems [50]
