Paracrine CCK signaling is not required for ex vivo GSIS. (A) Sulfated cholecystokinin (CCK) released into the media during islet culture. (B) Insulin secreted from batches of 5 islets after 1 h incubation at 3 or 15 mM glucose (3 G and 15 G, respectively) or 15 G in the presence of 1 µM proglumide, a non-selective CCK receptor antagonist. Insulin values were normalized to the islet DNA content from each batch (total of 9–21 batches/condition). Significance was tested by two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s post-hoc test. Data are mean ± SEM of 3–7 islet. preparations.
