Glucose-induced release of insulin from perifused rat islets is associated with elevated islet
adenosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate. If values for adenosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate are
compared to insulin release during theophylline or glucose stimulation and theophylline
plus glucose stimulation, it suggests a minor role for adenosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate in
directly stimulating insulin release but a prominent role in modulating glucose-induced
release of insulin.
