Islet Volume and Indexes of β-Cell Function in Humans
Islet volume and endocrine pancreas architecture (islet size distribution) may be independent determinants of β-cell function. Furthermore, the accuracy of homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) indexes in predicting β-cell mass has never been assessed. Here we investigated the relationships between is...
