Figure 2

Impact of palmitate treatment on insulin secretion and apoptosis in human pancreatic islets. a) Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion represented as fold change of insulin secretion (insulin secretion at high glucose levels/insulin secretion at low glucose levels) from human islets (n = 9) exposed to palmitate or control treatment for 48 h. A Wilcoxon one-tailed test was used. *P ≤0.05. b) Combined activity of Caspase-3/-7 as a measure of apoptosis in human islets (n = 4) exposed to palmitate or control treatment for 48 h. A Wilcoxon test was performed.
