| Abstract | The aim of the study was to test whether the source of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) is a determinant of beta cell function. We hypothesized that elevations in cytosolic Ca2+ caused by the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) have little physiologic impact on oxygen consumption and insulin secretion. Ca2+ release from the ER was induced in isolated rat islets by acetylcholine and response of oxygen consumption rate (OCR), NAD(P)H, cytosolic Ca2+, and insulin secretory rate (ISR) were measured. Glucose increased all four parameters, and thereafter acetylcholine further increased cytosolic Ca2+, OCR, and ISR. To assess the contribution of Ca2+ release from the ER in mediating the effects of acetylcholine, ER Ca2+ stores were first emptied by inhibiting the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, which subsequently reduced the effect of acetylcholine on cytosolic Ca2+ but not its effects on OCR or ISR. As predicted, OCR and ISR were acutely sensitive to changes in L-type Ca2+ channel activity; nimodipine completely inhibited glucose-stimulated ISR and suppressed OCR by 36%, despite only inhibiting cytosolic Ca2+ by 46%. Moreover, in the presence of nimodipine and high glucose, acetylcholine still elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels above those observed in the presence of high glucose alone but did not significantly stimulate ISR. In conclusion, Ca2+ flux through L-type Ca2+ channels was tightly coupled to changes in OCR and ISR. In contrast, the results obtained support the notion that Ca2+ release from the ER has little or no access to the intracellular machinery that regulates OCR and ISR. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
