Tight Coupling Between Electrical Activity and Exocytosis in Mouse Glucagon-Secreting -Cells Sebastian Barg, Juris Galvanovskis, Sven O. Göpel, Patrik Rorsman, and Lena Eliasson

-Cells were identified in preparations of dispersed mouse islets by immunofluorescence microscopy. A high fraction of -cells correlated with a small cell size measured as the average cell diameter (10 µm) and whole-cell capacitance (
