Rat neonatal beta cells lack the specialised metabolic phenotype of mature beta cells
2011
Aims/hypothesis
Fetal and neonatal beta cells have poor glucose-induced insulin secretion and only gain robust glucose responsiveness several weeks after birth. We hypothesise that this unresponsiveness is due to a generalised immaturity of the metabolic pathways normally found in beta cells rather than to a specific defect.
