Stimulation of insulin secretion by transforming growth factor- β
Abstract
Effects of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on insulin secretion were studied in rat pancreatic islets. When islets were incubated in a batch incubation system with various concentrations of TGF-beta in the presence of 2.8 mM glucose, TGF- beta increased insulin release in a concentration-dependent manner. Both TGF- beta 1 and TGF- beta 2 were equally effective. The stimulatory action of TGF- beta was greater in the presence of stimulatory concentration of glucose. In perifusion system, TGF- beta induced an immediate monotonic increase in insulin secretion. These results indicate that TGF- beta is a stimulator of insulin secretion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
