Abstract
Ryanodine receptor channel model is introduced to a dynamical model of pancreatic beta-cells to discuss the effects of RyR channels and glucose concentration on membrane potential. The results show Ca2+ concentration changes responding to enhance of glucose concentration is more quickly than that of activating RyR channels, and both methods can induce bursting action potential and increase free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. An interesting finding is that moderate stimulation to RyR channels will result in a kind of "complex bursting", which is more effective in enhancing average Ca2+ concentration and insulin section.Entities:
