Description:
The development of gap junctions between insulin-containing B cells was quantitatively analyzed in islets of Langerhans isolated from rats treated with the sulfonylurea glibenclamid for 1, 2, or 7 days. Glibenclamid treatment was associated with a marked depletion of the insulin content of B cells and with an increase in the number and size of gap junctions between these cells. A significance correlation was found between these two events.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Meda, P -- Halban, P -- Perrelet, A -- Renold, A E -- Orci, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Aug 29;209(4460):1026-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6773144" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
