Pancreatic islet amyloid and elevated proinsulin secretion in familial maturity-onset diabetes.
Quantitative morphometry of immunostained pancreatic islet cells in a surgical specimen from a maturity-onset diabetic (MOD) patient (A) has been combined with a study of beta-cell secretion in him and his MOD son (B). The morphometry showed intra-islet amyloid deposits in 24% of islet sections whic...
