Assessment of the insulin production. The intracellular insulin content (a) and insulin-releasing index (b) were calculated to determine the functionality of insulin production. Significant increases are indicated by “†” at 𝑃<0.05, “++” at 𝑃<0.01, and “+++” at 𝑃<0.001, compared with the static group. Significant differences between PGA and sMG and between PGA-sMG and PGA or sMG are denoted by “#.”
