Changes in amylin and amylin-like peptide concentrations and beta-cell function in response to sulfonylurea or insulin therapy in NIDDM.

OBJECTIVE: Amylin, a secretory peptide of beta-cells, is the constituent peptide of islet amyloid, which is characteristic of NIDDM, and changes in amylin secretion in response to therapies may influence the rate of production of islet amyloid. The primary objective of this study was to determine w...
