Abstract
Background: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. Results: SSRIs inhibit insulin action and secretion, promote the unfolded protein response, and induce apoptosis of pancreatic β cells. Conclusion: SSRIs inhibit insulin signaling and beta cell function. Significance: SSRIs might accelerate the transition from an insulin-resistant state to overt diabetes.
