Glucose‐induced electrical activity in pancreatic islet cells

Open access

Abstract

1. Intracellular recording of the transmembrane potential in mouse pancreatic cells revealed a membrane potential of −20·1 ± 0·8 mV for islet cells and −41·2 ± 1·4 mV for acinar cells. 2. The membrane potential of islet cells was glucose dependent and in the absence of glucose the cells hyperpolarized to −32·7 mV; with glucose 27·7 m M they depolarized to −16·1 mV. 3. Above a threshold concentration of glucose (4 m M) small action potentials of amplitude 1‐4 mV were induced in islet cells. The percentage of cells impaled exhibiting action potentials reached a maximum of 80% at 27·7 m M glucose. 4. Mannose 16·6 m M was similar to glucose in its ability to induce action potential discharge in islet cells. 5. 2,4‐Dinitrophenol (0·25 m M) hyperpolarized islet cells and blocked electrical activity induced by glucose 11·1 m M. 6. Adrenaline (1 μ M) completely blocked glucose‐induced electrical activity but without altering the membrane potential. 7. The origin and functional significance of glucose‐induced electrical activity in islet cells is discussed in relation to 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.
