Somatostatin content and release of isolated pancreatic islets from obese-hyperglycemic mice
Experientia
|January 15, 1979
Abstract:
The somatostatin content in pancreatic islets of obese-hyperglycemic mice was much lower than in the islets of normal mice. Also the release of somatostatin was decreased from the islets obtained from the obese-hyperglycemic mice. Tissue culture for 1 week changed neither the content of, nor the amount of somatostatin released from, the pancreatic islets.
