Figure 4Lack of effect of β cell–specific ablation of PKCλ on islet morphology and insulin content. (
A) Immunostaining of pancreatic sections from 6-month-old control and βPKCλ
–/– mice with antibodies against insulin (red) and glucagon (green). Scale bars: 50 μm. (
B) Quantitation of β cell area as a percentage of total pancreatic area in control and βPKCλ
–/– mice. Data are means ± SE of values from 4 mice of each genotype. (
C) Insulin content of isolated islets. Data are means ± SE of values from 4 mice of each genotype. (
D) Electron microscopy of β cells of control and βPKCλ
–/– mice. Magnification, ×10,000.
