Summary

Isolated rat pancreatic islets were cryopreserved in the presence of ethylene glycol at a slow cooling rate (0.3 K/min) without using either stepwise addition or sucrose-mediated dilution methods. The glucose-stimulated insulin release of the islets cryopreserved with ethylene glycol did not differ from that of islets cryopreserved with dimethyl sulfoxide. These findings indicate that ethylene glycol is useful as a new cryoprotectant for rat islets.
