Measurement of Pulsatile Insulin Secretion: Rationale and Methodology

  • Marcello C. Laurenti,
  • Aleksey Matveyenko and
  • Adrian Vella

Pancreatic β-cells are responsible for the synthesis and exocytosis of insulin in response to an increase in circulating glucose. Insulin secretion occurs in a pulsatile manner, with oscillatory pulses superimposed on a basal secretion rate. Insulin...
