Altered Expression of Somatostatin Receptors in Pancreatic Islets from NOD Mice Cultured at Different Glucose Concentrations In Vitro and in Islets Transplanted to Diabetic NOD Mice In Vivo

Figure 4

Quantitative analysis of the immunohistochemical expression, using a double-labelling procedure, of ssts in alpha cells in isolated pancreatic islets cultured in different glucose concentrations ((a), ) or in the transplanted islets grafts ((b), ). Bars represent the means ± SEM from the percentage of cells positive for the given ssts. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus control using Student’s unpaired -test.
