Pancreatic Beta-Cell Purification by Altering FAD and NAD(P)H Metabolism
Figure 3
Changes in cellular FAD fluorescence. Beta-cell (black bars) and nonbeta-cell (dashed bars) FAD
fluorescence were measured in response to (a) increasing concentrations of
D-glucose and (b) amino acids. Fluorescence is represented as relative FAD
fluorescence, compared to medium containing 553 mg/L amino acids and 5.5 mM
D-Glucose. The graph represents four separate experiments, bars represent the
mean ± SEM, and statistical significance was calculated using the Mann-Whitney
test. -values <.05 were considered to be statistically significant and are
represented by (∗).
