Component
Calcium signaling in mouse intestinal L cells
Calcium signaling in mouse intestinal L cells. Interpret through the linked study species, preparation, exposure and measured endpoint.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Glucose-induced calcium signaling persisted during TRPA1 antagonist exposure in the tested mouse L cells.
Experimental context and source evidence
- evidence_access
- Primary full text available; selected claim-relevant methods, results, tables/figures and limitations reviewed. Supplemental proteome and all secondary findings are not exhaustively extracted.
- experimental_condition
- Glucose response without antagonist pharmacologically blocked · Mouse Trpa1 ion channel Condition belongs to the full experimental contrast; do not separate a joint intervention.
- experimental_condition
- Glucose response without antagonist stimulus · D-glucose Condition belongs to the full experimental contrast; do not separate a joint intervention.

**The GLP-1 experiment did not test allicin.** Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and carvacrol increased calcium signaling and GLP-1 secretion in mouse intestinal cultures; antagonism or Trpa1 deletion limited those responses. Glucose-induced responses persisted during TRPA1 blockade. In vivo, oral AITC at 15 mg/kg raised GLP-1 even in Trpa1-null mice; lower doses did not significantly increase it. Capsaicin did not increase secretion in the tested cultures. These findings constrain a proposed allicin–TRPA1–GLP-1 connection, but they do not demonstrate it. AITC is not allicin.
