Regulation of glucagon release in mouse -cells by KATP channels and inactivation of TTX-sensitive Na+ channels.
The perforated patch whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique was applied to superficial glucagon-secreting alpha-cells in intact mouse pancreatic islets. alpha-cells were distinguished from the beta- and delta-cells by the presence of a large TTX-blockable Na+ current, a TEA-resistant...
