Free zinc determines the formability of the vesicular dense core in diabetic beta cells
During the progression of type 2 diabetes, total body zinc deficiency disrupts the formability of the electron-dense core in beta-cell vesicles, but the mechanism is unclear. Using fluorescence imaging, transmission electron microscopy and pharmacokinetics assays, we established a strong link betwee...
