Impairment in beta-cell exocytosis is associated with reduced insulin secretion and diabetes. Here we aimed to investigate the dynamics of Ca 2+ -dependent insulin exocytosis with respect to pool depletion and Ca 2+ -current inactivation. We studied exocytosis, measured as increase in membrane capacitance (ΔC m ), as a function of calcium entry ( Q ) in insulin secreting INS-1 832/13 cells using patch clamp and mixed-effects statistical analysis. The observed linear relationship between ΔC m  and  Q  suggests that Ca 2+ -channel inactivation rather than granule pool restrictions is responsible for the decline in exocytosis observed at longer depolarizations. INS-1 832/13 cells possess an immediately releasable pool (IRP) of ∼10 granules and most exocytosis of granules occurs from a large pool. The latter is attenuated by the calcium-buffer EGTA, while IRP is unaffected. These findings suggest that most insulin release occurs away from Ca 2+ -channels, and that pool depletion plays a minor role in the decline of exocytosis upon prolonged stimulation.
