Ca2+ transport in pancreatic beta-cells during glucose stimulation of insulin secretion.

The role of Ca2+ in the regulation of insulin secretion was evaluated using beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets isolated from ob/ob-mice. The glucose stimulation of the secretory activity is supposed to result from accumulation of Ca2+ in the submembrane cytoplasmic space. It is likely that this proces...
