endocrine/exocrine glands
• decreased hormone secretion from islets of langerhans in vitro
• granule number and morphology of beta cells are unchanged
|
• in response to the glucose challenge, the peak in plasma insulin was decreased compared to wild type control
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in response to the glucose challenge, the peak in plasma insulin was decreased compared to wild type control
|
• plasma glucose level in response to i.p. glucose injection was higher than wild type control
• however, insulin sensitivity was not affected
