Ability of P2Y₁ to potentiate insulin secretion positively correlates with BMI of humans. (A) Insulin secretion (ng/islet/h) was assessed in 1‐h static incubations in response to 1 and 10 mmol/L glucose in the presence of P2Y₁ antagonist, MRS2500 (1 μmol/L). (B) Comparison of donor–donor response according to percentage inhibition of insulin secretion by P2Y₁ antagonist. (C–E) The percentage inhibition of responders after 20 min MRS2500 treatment plotted against stimulation index (panel C; n = 14 donors), age (panel D; n = 14 donors), and BMI (kg/m²; panel E; n = 14 donors) in nondiabetic human islet donors. (F) Comparison of percentage inhibition by MRS2500 according to BMI tertiles (lean < 25; overweight 25–30; and obese> 35 kg/m²) (n = 5, 5, 4 donors).
