In pancreatic islets from both healthy young children and adults, insulin secretion is stimulated by arginine and the combination of leucine and glutamine, concentration-dependent and in an biphasic pattern, similarly to glucose-induced insulin secretion.[1] Insulin resistance is related to valine, glutamate, tyrosine, glutamine and glycine levels.[2]

A diet that is low in AGEs may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin sensitivity.[3]
