Insulin secretion is a highly dynamic process regulated by various factors including
nutrients, hormones, and neuronal inputs. The dynamics of insulin secretion can be studied
at different levels: the single β cell, pancreatic islet, whole pancreas, and the intact organism.
Studies have begun to analyze cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying dynamics of
insulin secretion. This review focuses on our current understanding of the dynamics of
insulin secretion in vitro and in vivo and discusses their clinical relevance.
