Abstract:Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, where the body suffers from insulin resistance. The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a secretory product of beta cells in pancreatic islets of Langerhans that also inhibits glucagon and insulin secretion. The aggregation of IAPP is present in pancreatic islet amyloid deposits seen especially in Type 2 diabetes, in humans and other mammalian species. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the animal toxicity on mammalian cells. In this… Show more
