Flow Cytometric Quantification of Glucose-Stimulated β-Cell Metabolic Flux Can Reveal Impaired Islet Functional Potency

The objective of this study was to develop a multiparametric flow cytometry assay to simultaneously quantify isolated pancreatic islet cell viability, apoptosis, and glucose-induced metabolic flux. INS-1 and rat islet β-cells were stained with fluorescent probes for cell viability (ToPro3), apoptosi...
