To clarify the insulin-releasing mechanism, we studied insulin release and the efflux of [32P]phosphate by glucose at 0.1 mM/min of gradient level or at 16.7 mM, and other metabolism in islets of rat Langerhans. When treated with 1 mM iodoacetic acid (IAA) plus the anomers of D-glucose at 2.8 mM for 6 min at 37 degrees C, islets elicited insulin at half the control rate under the step-wise stimulation by glucose and at the same rate as the control under the slow-rise stimulation by glucose. Using islets treated with IAA plus the alpha anomer at 16.7 mM, the step-wise stimulation secreted insulin at half a rate of the control and the slow-rise stimulation at the rate lower than the control, which was not significantly different from the control rate. Treatment with IAA plus the beta anomer at 16.7 mM inhibited insulin release under both types of stimulations by glucose. The step-wise stimulation caused the same rapid efflux of [32P]phosphate from IAA-treated islets  as from the control islets, except for islets treated with IAA plus the beta anomer at 16.7 mM. The rate of glucose utilization in islets was inhibited by all IAA-treatments to the same extent, being merely half the control rate. Treatments with IAA plus the anomers at 16.7 mM significantly reduced the formation of [3H]-cAMP and the activity of protein phosphokinase in islets, while in the presence of the anomers at 2.8 mM IAA produced no significant effect. Neither IAA-treatments altered the uptake of 45Ca and the ATP content in islets. The uptake of [14C]IAA was significantly enhanced by the presence of the beta anomer at 16.7 mM to two times the control level. On the basis of these results, we suggested that the B cell might contain both glucoreceptors and rate-sensors of glucose controlling insulin release and the former might be less sensitive to IAA as compared with the latter.
