Therapeutic ultrasound-induced insulin release in vivo

We have previously shown that therapeutic ultrasound is capable of stimulating insulin release from pancreatic beta cells, non-invasively, safely and effectively. The aim of this work is to conduct preliminary animal studies to evaluate the feasibility of controlled insulin release in vivo using therapeutic ultrasound. Wild type hIAPP + / + white FVB mice were randomly assigned to either the ultrasound treatment group or the sham group. Mice in …
