The oral glucose tolerance test performed 4 weeks after transplantation. (a) The blood glucose levels 2, 4, and 12 weeks after transplantation displayed normal patterns. (b) The corresponding serum human c-peptide values demonstrated a similar pattern. This result indicates that the transplanted cells are glucose-responsive and insulin-secreting.
