This acts as an important activator signal for different mitochondrial enzymes leading to increased ATP generation.45 We found higher ICaL and Ca2+ transients were increased in DM group with an enhanced expression of Ca2+ handling proteins including Cav1.2 and RyR2, leading to a rise of [Ca2+]i from the extracellular space and the SR. This evidence concerns the gene RYR2 and diabetes mellitus.
