SUMMARY: In isolated rat islets, cytochalasin-B, which potentiates glucoseinduced insulin release and inhibits hexose transport, provided immediate protection from the inhibitory effect of alloxan on glucose-induced insulin release. Cytochalasin-D, which also potentiates glucose-induced insulin release, but exerts no detectable effect on hexose transport, provided no protection from the action of alloxan. These results indicate 1) the protective action of cytochalasin-B against the effect of alloxan is mediated on the beta-cell membrane in proximity to the hexose transport site, and 2) the ability of cytochalasin-B and D to potentiate glucose-induced insulin release appears unrelated to an interaction with the hexose transport site.

Perifusion of isolated Islets: Islets were isolated from the pancreas of male Wistar rats (2OO-3OO gm) using the collagenase technique described previously (II). The perifusion system utilized-was identical to that described in studies on alloxan inhibition of insulin release, b vitro (1). lnsul in was determined by the radioimmunoassay of Wright et al. musing crystalline pork insulin as the standard and []25] I labeled pork insulin (Cambridge Nuclear Pharmaceutical Co.) as the tracer.
