Abstract

The mechanisms by which changes in glucose concentration regulate gene expression and insulin secretion in pancreatic islet β-cells are only partly understood. Here we describe the development of new technologies for examining these processes at the level of single living β-cells. We also present recent findings, made using these and other techniques, which implicate a role for adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase in glucose signaling in these cells.
