Abstract:BACKGROUND
The pancreatic islet microcirculation adapts its metabolism to cope with limited oxygen availability and nutrient delivery. In diabetes, the balance between oxygen delivery and consumption is impaired. Insulin has been proven to exert complex actions promoting the maintenance of homeostasis of the pancreas under glucotoxicity.
AIM
To test the hypothesis that insulin administration can improve the integrated pancreatic microcirculatory oxygen profile and bioen… Show more
