homeostasis/metabolism
|
• impaired glucose-stimulated as well as alpha-KIC- and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic islets isolated from 7-month old mice
• decreased pancreatic insulin content per weight of pancreas at 7 months of age
• however, islet insulin content is unchanged
|
|
• reduced plasma insulin level in non-fasted mice at 7 months of age
|
|
• increased total area under the curve (AUC) for plasma glucose (with a tendency toward impaired acute insulin response) during i.v. glucose tolerance testing in mice at 6 months of age
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• impaired glucose-stimulated as well as alpha-KIC- and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic islets isolated from 7-month old mice
• decreased pancreatic insulin content per weight of pancreas at 7 months of age
• however, islet insulin content is unchanged
|
cellular
|
• after stimulation with 16.7 mM glucose, maximal decrease in TMRM fluorescence intensity is reduced by 64% in pancreatic islets isolated from 7-month old mice
|
|
• increased basal levels of ATP in pancreatic islets isolated from 7-month old mice
• however, upon stimulation with 22 mM glucose, islet ATP content is lower than that in control islets
