Glucose stimulated insulin secretion of isolated islets. Islet function was evaluated over time via glucose stimulated insulin secretion assay. Islets were exposed to low then high glucose, and the secreted insulin in each condition was quantified to calculate a stimulation index, or SI (high secretion/low secretion). SI’s were calculated separately for tail/body isolations and for whole pancreas isolations. Differences in SIs between the groups were not significant at either time point (N = 2 per group)
