First, glucose is identified by the pancreatic B-cell as an insulinotropic factor. Second, calcium accumulation in a critical cellular site triggers the release process. Third, a microtubular-microfilamentous system serves as the effector system for the translocation and eventual extrusion of secretory granules. It is possible to interfere rather specifically with each of these events. For instance, fasting results in an impairment of the process of glucose identification. Various pharmacological agents, including organic calcium-antagonists may uncouple the metabolic process of glucose recognition form the effector response. Last, experimental alterations of the B-cell microtubular-microfilamentous system cause severe disturbances in the dynamics of insulin release. It is proposed that such experimental models may help to elucidate the primary lesion in different types of spontaneous diabetes mellitus in laboratory animals.</p>","PeriodicalId":75428,"journal":{"name":"Acta zoologica et pathologica Antverpiensia","volume":" 68","pages":"53-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11546843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Isozymic fetal types for several muscular enzymes have been observed as well in chicken as in man, but this fetal type may also be found in neurogenic atrophy.
