Interaction Information:
| Comment | The effect of adding iron in the form of ferric citrate was studied. At high doses, there was obvious cell death. At lower doses, there were significant decreases in Hif1a, Hnf4a, Glut1, and Glut2 expression. There was also significantly impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), with only a nonsignificant 13% increase, following high glucose in iron-treated cells. |

| Comment | Increasing HIF-1alpha levels by inhibiting its degradation through iron chelation markedly improved insulin secretion and glucose tolerance in control mice fed a high-fat diet but not in beta-Hif1a-null mice. |
