monophasic state of insulin secretion in isolated rat islets of langerhans by k+, ca2+ and glucose
Authors
abstract
isolation of rat islets of langerhans was carried out by using collagenase and the destruction of exocrine tissue was performed through the injection of hanks' solution into the common bile duct. the identification of the islets was done by techniques including the use of a stereomicroscope against a black background. vital staining was done by an injection of neutral red solution through the abdominal aorta to observe the red tinted islets. immunofluorescent staining with anti-insulin was done to identify islets and nuclear staining was done with propidium iodide. the microorgans were detected by a confocal microscope equipped with a laser source. the secretory activities of the islets was investigated by in vitro measurement of insulin and the effects of various concentrations of glucose, potassium and calcium ions were studied. it was found that the insulin secretion by these agents obeyed a monophasic trend which points to the depolarization effect on cytoplasmic membrane induced by these agents.

MONOPHASIC STATE OF INSULIN SECRETION IN ISOLATED RAT ISLETS OF LANGERHANS BY K+, Ca2+ AND GLUCOSE
Isolation of rat islets of Langerhans was carried out by using collagenase and the destruction of exocrine tissue was performed through the injection of Hanks' solution into the common bile duct.

full textAdenosine and the regulation of insulin secretion by isolated rat islets of Langerhans.
The effect of adenosine in insulin secretion and adenylate cyclase activity of rat islets of Langerhans was investigated. Adenosine inhibited insulin secretion stimulated by glucose, glucagon, prostaglandin E2, tolbutamine and theophylline. Adenosine decreased basal adenylate cyclase activity of the islets as well as that stimulated by glucagon prostaglandin E2 and GTP, although fluoride-stimul...

Background: Pancreatic islet transplantation is one of the most promising strategies for treating patients with type I diabetes mellitus.Objective: We aimed to assess the immunoisolation properties of the multilayer encapsulated islets using alginate-chitosan-PEG for immunoprotection and insulin secretion from the encapsulated islets induced under differe...

The effects of lowered O2 tension on insulin secretion and changes in cellular energy parameters were investigated in isolated rat pancreatic islets perifused with buffers equilibrated with 21, 9, 5, and 1% oxygen and containing 5 mM glucose. Decreasing the external [O2] reduced the amount of insulin released in response to 16 mM glucose, 20 mM alpha-ketoisocaproic acid, and 40 mM KCl. Secretio...
full textStudies on the secretion of newly synthesized proinsulin and insulin from isolated rat islets of Langerhans.
Islets of Langerhans isolated from rat pancreas were incubated at 37 degrees C(95% O(2)/5% CO(2)) in buffered medium containing 1.0 mg/ml glucose and leucine (3)H for 1 hr (1st hr), washed, and incubated for an additional hr (2nd hr) in low glucose medium (0.5-1.0 mg/ml) containing unlabeled leucine. A portion of the islets was then extracted with acid-ethanol and the remainder were transferred...
full textCo-secretion of carboxypeptidase H and insulin from isolated rat islets of Langerhans.
The release of carboxypeptidase H activity from isolated rat islets was determined and compared to the secretion of immunoreactive insulin. Analysis of pancreatic islet cells sorted into beta and non-beta types indicated that approx. 80% of islet carboxypeptidase H activity is present in the beta cell. The release of both insulin and carboxypeptidase H was stimulated markedly by increasing the ...
