Abstract: GABA signalling critically controls the alpha cell population in pancreatic islets. Low intraislet GABA may contribute to alpha cell hyperplasia in early type 1 diabetes.

Notes: "Muscimol, together with insulin, significantly lowered the level of cytosolic Ca2+ and p-mTOR, and decreased the proliferation rate of αTC1-6 cells".
