Insulin Secretion from Pancreatic B Cells Caused by L-Arginine-Derived Nitrogen Oxides

L-arginine causes insulin release from pancreatic B cells. Data from three model systems support the hypothesis that L-arginine-derived nitrogen oxides (NOs) mediate insulin release stimulated by L-arginine in the presence of D-glucose and by the hypoglycemic drug tolbutamide. The formation of NO in... View More
