Figure 6. Influence of glucose on hormone release from isolated islets.

Figure 6

Influence of low (1 mmol l−1) and high (16.7 mmol l−1) glucose concentrations on insulin (A) and glucagon (B) release from islets isolated from mice subjected to sham operation (controls; □), gastrectomy (Inline graphic) or fasting (Inline graphic). Hormone release following pyloroplasty (PP; Inline graphic) or vagotomy (VTPP; Inline graphic) is illustrated in C for insulin and D for glucagon. Values are means ±s.e.m. for 8-12 batches of islets in each group. Each batch contained 10 islets. Significant differences versus sham operation (A and B) or pyloroplasty (C and D) are denoted by *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
