Blood was sampled from the tail vein at 0, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min and glycaemia measured using an automatic glucometer (Accu-chek, Roche). 2.4. Insulin secretion Islets were isolated by collagenase dissociation as described previously [38] and ∼50 islets were perifused with Krebs-HEPES ...
Blood glucose levels were monitored with a portable glucometer and glucose infusion rates were adjusted every 5–10 min as needed. [3- 3 H]glucose (Amersham, Los Angeles, CA) was infused through the jugular vein catheter starting at 0 min with a bolus (6 lCi) followed by a continuous ...
