It is generally agreed that insulin secretion increases as blood glucose increases, and the same is true for islets/beta-cells in a dish in response to glucose. I have been trying to locate definitive findings in the literature of what the glucose dose-response curve for insulin secretion looks like for rodent and/or human islets across a broad range of glucose concentrations (0-200 mM or more). At what glucose load does insulin secretion max out? My impression is that the range is far broader than I would have expected. Does secretion remain steady beyond this peak value or does it actually diminish if glucose loads become too high, thus creating the inverted U-shaped curve? I would greatly appreciate citations or links to well accepted publications on this matter.
