marks" islets in such a way as to cause preferential release of newly synthesized insulin.
The preferential release of insulin from marked islets is relatively independent of subsequent
secretagogues or rates of insulin secretion. Previous kinetic studies have indicated that the
critical time at which marking occurs is after proinsulin biosynthesis but before the secretory
event. Thus, secretory cells may regulate the diversion of newly synthesized material for …

The preferential release of insulin from marked islets is relatively independent of subsequent secretagogues or rates of insulin secretion. Previous kinetic studies have indicated that the critical time at which marking occurs is after proinsulin biosynthesis but before the secretory event. Thus, secretory cells may regulate the diversion of newly synthesized material for immediate release as it is approaching or transiting the Golgi apparatus.
