1 INTERVENTION AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: All participants underwent glucose-potentiated arginine testing where acute insulin responses to arginine (5 g) were determined under fasting (AIR(arg)), 230 mg/dl (AIR(pot)), and 340 mg/dl (AIR(max)) clamp conditions, and AIR(max) gives the beta-cell secretory capacity.

2 RESULTS: Insulin responses were significantly lower than normal in the islet group for AIR(arg) (P < 0.05), AIR(pot) (P < 0.01), and AIR(max) (P < 0.01), whereas responses in the pancreas-kidney and kidney transplant groups were not different than in the kidney donor group.
