Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes results from impaired insulin action and beta-cell dysfunction. There are at least two components to beta-cell dysfunction: impaired insulin secretion and decreased beta-cell mass. To analyze how these two variables contribute to the progressive deterioration of metabolic control seen in diabetes, we asked whether mice with impaired beta-cell growth due to Irs2 ablation would be able to mount a...
