Measures of insulin secretion after the first and final transplant
| After first transplant | After final transplant | |
|---|---|---|
| IE infused | 374,283 ± 20,247 | 850,035 ± 37,911 |
| AIRg (% of control) | 2 ± 1 | 21 ± 5 |
| AIRarg (% of control) | 17 ± 3 | 56 ± 11 |
| AUCi (% of control) | 10 ± 4 | 34 ± 5 |
Data are means ± SE based on the 17 subjects (for IE infused) who completed the Edmonton protocol; n = 13 for the glucose studies (both after first and final transplant) and n = 6 after first transplant and n = 8 after final transplant for the arginine studies. Nondiabetic subjects are reported as having 1.0–1.7 × 106 islets (23,24).
