Figure 1. Linoleic acid (LA) stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i in rat β-cells.

Figure 1

A: blank control. B: Increase in [Ca2+]i induced by 2 min LA treatment. C: Increase in [Ca2+]i induced by 10 min LA treatment. D and E: the statistical results of the maximal Ca2+ levels in the first phase and in the second phase of B and C, respectively. ** means P<0.01 vs basal level, ## means P<0.01 vs the first phase. F: The mean Ca2+ change in the first phase. ** means P<0.01 vs blank control. G: The mean Ca2+ change in the second phase. ** means P<0.01 vs blank control, ## means P<0.01 vs LA for 2 minutes. (n = 6, 12 and 16 for blank control, 2-min LA and 10-min LA, respectively).
