Questions About LectinsWheat Lectin Mimics Insulin?QUESTION What evidence do you have that wheat interacts with insulin? In my four years of dietetics training I've never seen, heard or read a reference to this. ANSWER No problem, here's a few references. There are many more in the online databases such as PUBMED. Livingston JN, Purvis BJ. Effects of wheat germ agglutinin on insulin binding and insulin sensitivity of fat cells. Am J Physiol. 1980 Mar;238(3):E267-75. Shemer J, LeRoith D. The interaction of brain insulin receptors with wheat germ agglutinin. Neuropeptides. 1987 Jan;9(1):1-8. Ponzio G, Debant A, Contreres JO, Rossi B. Wheat-germ agglutinin mimics metabolic effects of insulin without increasing receptor autophosphorylation.Cell Signal 1990;2(4):377-86 Kitano N, Taminato T, Ida T, Seno M, Seino Y, Matsukura S, Kuno S, Imura H. Detection of antibodies against wheat germ agglutinin bound glycoproteins on the islet-cell membrane. Diabet Med. 1988 Mar;5(2):139-44. Messina JL, Hamlin J, Larner J. Insulin-mimetic actions of wheat germ agglutinin and concanavalin A on specific mRNA levels. Arch Biochem Biophys. 1987 Apr;254(1):110-5. |
