Figure 1From: Chronic glucolipotoxic conditions in pancreatic islets impair insulin secretion due to dysregulated calcium dynamics, glucose responsiveness and mitochondrial activityChronic glucolipotoxic conditions in vitro reduce GSIS. Rat islets were cultured under normal conditions (control) or with 16.7 mM glucose and 500 μM palmitate for 72 h (GL). Post 72 h, islets were treated with 2 mM glucose (LG) or 11 mM glucose (HG) for 2 h and secreted insulin was measured. Data are expressed as mean±SEM and statistical analysis was performed using the unpaired Student’s t-test. (*P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001, n=4).Back to article page
