The effect of islet activating protein on glucose tolerance, insulin secretion and insulin responsiveness was studied in the NZO mouse, a model of non-insulin dependent diabetes and obesity. A single IV injection of 5 ng/g body weight islet activating protein markedly lowered plasma glucose and the

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptophan on insulin release and 45Ca2+ uptake in islets microdissected from ob/ob mice were studied. At a concentration of 4 mmol/l both compounds slightly stimulated insulin release at a low glucose concentration (3 mmol/l). Insulin release induced
The effect of mammalian insulin on plasma glucose levels was studied in the paedogenic urodele amphibian, Necturus maculosus. Blood was collected from a cannula implanted in the dorsal aorta via the gastric artery and plasma glucose was estimated by the glucose oxidase method. Plasma glucose levels
Since the discovery of the recessive lethal mutation to as reported by Dobrovolskaia-Zawadskaia and Kobozieff ( '32) and Chesley and Dunn ('36) a considerable amount of research has been devoted to the remarkable series of recessive mutant alleles that have since been shown to occur at this locus (T
Mouse islets were used to study how glucose modulates arginine stimulation of insulin release. At 3 mmol/l glucose, arginine (20 mmol/l) decreased the resting membrane potential of B cells by about 10 mV, but did not evoke electrical activity. This depolarisation was accompanied by a slight but rapi
