(A–B) Examples of [Ca²⁺]_i patterns in 11 mM glucose (top) and 15 mM glucose (bottom). Patterns shown in (A) were representative of islets from 5 mice, in which the oscillations were prolonged at the higher glucose concentration. Patterns shown in (B) were representative of islets from 2 mice in which patterns switched from slow to very fast oscillations. (C–D) Mean period of oscillations among islets (n>6 islets per mouse) from 9 CD-1 mice in 11 mM glucose (C) or 15 mM glucose (D). Mouse numbers correspond to both C and D.
