## Abstract Acute physical stresses can occur in the procurement and isolation process and potentially can contribute to islet death or malfunction upon transplantation. A contractional flow device, previously used to subject suspended cells to wellβdefined hydrodynamic forces, has been modified an

Dehydrouramil hydrate hydrochloride (DHU) is an analogue of alloxan which retains the in vivo diabetogenic activity of alloxan but, in contrast to alloxan, is stable in aqueous media at physiological pH. Using rat islets of Langerhans, we have studied the acute effects of DHU on B cell function. Glu
The effects of islet function of addition to the culture medium of rat growth hormone was studied in 4-day cultured islets of Langerhans from normal and hypophysectomised rats. In islets from hypophysectomised rats, rates of insulin release were 34% lower than in control rat islets; rates of insulin
