Membrane potential-dependent inactivation of voltage-gated ion channels in alpha-cells inhibits glucagon secretion from human islets.
OBJECTIVE: To document the properties of the voltage-gated ion channels in human pancreatic alpha-cells and their role in glucagon release. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Glucagon release was measured from intact islets. [Ca(2+)](i) was recorded in cells showing spontaneous activity at 1 mmol/l glucos...
