Figure 1From: Experimental evaluation and computational modeling of the effects of encapsulation on the time-profile of glucose-stimulated insulin release of pancreatic islets Basic concept of the present model of insulin release in β-cells. Response is determined by the local glucose concentration, c gluc, and its rate of change, ∂c gluc/∂t, but it is also influenced by the local oxygen concentration, c oxy.Back to article page
