Pharmacological stimulation and inhibition of insulin secretion in mouse islets lacking ATP‐sensitive K⁺channels

Abstract

Those drugs retaining effects on IS in islets lacking K(ATP) channels, also affected [Ca(2+)](c), indicating actions on other ionic channels. The greater effects of some inhibitors in Sur1KO than in control islets might be relevant to medical treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism caused by inactivating mutations of K(ATP) channels.
