Our results provide evidence that small islets are superior to large islets with regard to in vitro insulin secretion and show a higher survival rate during both normoxic and hypoxic culture.
In conclusion, LBP possess the action of lowing blood glucose, improving morphogeny and function of pancreatic islet B cells and increasing the secretion of insulin in NIDDM mice.
Time out of mind the piratical proas of the Malays, lurking among the low shaded coves and islets of Sumatra, have sallied out upon the vessels sailing through the straits, fiercely demanding tribute at the point of their spears.
