The development of glucose-stimulated insulin release and time-dependent potentiation (TDP) has been studied in isolated islets from 7-, 14-, and 21-day-old and 3-mo-old rats. Responses were small at 7 days and changed little at 14 days. At 21 days the

We sought to explore the emerging concept that malonyl-CoA generation, with concomitant suppression of mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I), represents an important component of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by the pancreatic beta-cell (Prentki M, Vischer S, Glennon MC, Regazzi

The hypothesis was made of an increased oxidation of fatty acids (FFA) and a decrease of their esterification rate contributing to the islet secretory defect during starvation. 2-Bromostearate (BrS), a FFA-oxidation inhibitor, was therefore tested on the islet secretion of
