Here, we outline how islet cells use autocrine and paracrine 'circuits' of classical neurotransmitters and their corresponding receptors and transporters to communicate with vicinal β-cells to regulate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Many of these same circuits operate in the central nervous system and can be visualized by molecular imaging. We discuss how these techniques might be applied to measuring the dynamics of β-cell function in real time.
在这里,我们概述了胰岛细胞如何利用经典神经递质及其相应的受体和转运体的自分泌和旁分泌“回路”与邻近的β细胞进行通讯,以调节葡萄糖刺激的胰岛素分泌。许多相同的回路在中枢神经系统中起作用,可以通过分子成像来观察。我们讨论了这些技术如何应用于实时测量β细胞功能的动态。
