Zebrafish β-cell KATP channels exhibit similar in pharmacology to mammalian β-cell KATP channels. Zebrafish β-cell KATP channels show activation by diazoxide (a) but not by pinacidil (b) in excised patches. These channels also show inhibition by both tolbutamide (c) and glibenclamide (d). (e,f) Quantification of activation (e) and inhibition (f) of the KATP channels. Asterisk indicates p < 0.05 by the Mann–Whitney test. In (e), the right panel indicates the increase in Irel produced by each drug, whereas the left panel indicates the fraction of overall maximum current in each condition. These are quantified from recordings of six cells for diazoxide, four cells for pinacidil and glibenclamide, and five cells for tolbutamide.
