Abstract
⺠Insulin activates GCL promoter under increased or decreased glucose conditions. ⺠Glycemic requirement was abrogated by insulin-hydroperoxide co-administration. ⺠Intact antioxidant response element-4 was critical for GCL promoter activation. ⺠Only at low glucose did promoter activation correlate with GCL and GSH increases. ⺠Neither ROS nor metabolic stress is key player in promoter activation at low glucose.
