In Intact Islets Interstitial GABA Activates GABA(A) Receptors That Generate Tonic Currents in α-Cells

In the rat islets γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is produced by the β-cells and, at least, the α-cells express the GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A) channels). In this study, we examined in intact islets if the interstitial GABA activated the GABA(A) receptors. We used the patch-clamp technique to record whole...
