Abstract

Isolated freshly rat islets were transferred to 24-well plates and incubated with different concentrations of glucose or resveratrol for 1 or 24 h.The results showed that resveratrol dose-dependently inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from isolated rat islets after 1 h incubation,with 10%,35%,and 80% (P<0.05 or P<0.01) decrease at the concentrations of 1,I0,and 100 μmol/L.10 μmol/L resveratrol decreased the intracellular calcium concentration by 60% (P<0.05).After incubation for 24 h,resveratrol increased palmitatesuppressed insulin secretion to 75% (P<0.01) of control.These results suggest that resveratrol acutely inhibits insulin secretion from primary pancreatic islet via regulating intracellular calcium ion concentration,and in the long run resveratrol may protect β-cells from lipotoxicity. Key words: Resveratrol; Insulin secretion; Calcium ion; Lipotoxicity
