Abstract
The rate of formation of beta-granules in mouse islet cells has been studied by morphometry using experimental conditions in which insulin secretion is known to be blocked. The number of beta-granules in a cell is increased by 120%, 45 minutes after a continued glucose stimulus of 16.7 mM. The implications of the results are discussed with respect to the construction of kinetic models for the secretion of insulin by exocytosis.Entities:
