In spontaneously diabetic GK rats, insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in response to glucose is selectively impaired, probably due to deficient intracellular metabolism of glucose and impaired closure of KATP channels during glucose stimulation. By using electrically permeabilized islets of GK rats, we explored the functional modulations in exocytotic steps distal to the rise in [Ca2+]i in the diabetic condition. At 30 nmol/l Ca2+ (basal conditions) insulin release was similar between GK and non-diabetic control Wistar rats. In response to 3.0 mumol/l Ca2+ (maximum stimulatory conditions), insulin release was significantly augmented in permeabilized GK islets (p < 0.01). Raising glucose concentrations from 2.8 to 16.7 mmol/l further augmented insulin release induced by 3.0 mumol/l Ca2+ from permeabilized control islets (p < 0.001), but had no effect on that from permeabilized GK islets. The stimulatory effect of glucose on insulin release from permeabilized control islets was partly inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol, an inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (p < 0.01). The hyperresponse to Ca2+ in GK islets may play a physiologically compensatory role on the putative functional impairment both in [Ca2+]i rise and energy state in response to glucose in diabetic beta cells, and may explain the relative preservation of insulin release induced by non-glucose depolarizing stimuli, such as arginine, from pancreatic islets in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
