    Abstract:
    The effect of the calcium-blockers nicardipine, darodipine, PN-200-110 on insulin release from pancreatic islets was studied using nifedipine as a reference compound. All drugs at a concentration of 10(-6)M significantly inhibited insulin release in response to both low (5.5 mM) and high (22 mM) glucose. The present observations support previous reports that calcium blockers of the dihydropyridine series are effective inhibitors of glucose-induced insulin release.
