Minireview: Meeting the Demand for Insulin: Molecular Mechanisms of Adaptive Postnatal ß-Cell Mass Expansion
7 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes results from pancreatic ss-cell failure in the setting of insulin resistance. This model of disease progression has received recent support from the results of genome-wide association studies that identify genes potentially regulating ss-cell growth and function as type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci. Normal ss-cell compensation for an increased insulin demand includes both enhanced...
