ATP/(ADP + AMP) ratios in INS-1 cells exposed to cadmium. (a) INS-1 cells were exposed to the indicated concentrations of cadmium for 72 h in the complete growth medium, and the cellular concentrations of nucleotides were measured as described in Section 2.4. A t-test was applied to compare each group to the non-exposed one. * p = 0.02, n = 9 for each group; (b) After the cadmium treatment, cells were pre-incubated for 1 h in KRBH buffer supplemented with 2.8 mM glucose, and then for another hour in the same medium (black bars) and with 16.7 mM glucose (grey bars); n = 7 for each group.
