[Zinc content of pancreatic islets in diabetes]
Abstract
Content and distribution of zinc was studied in the pancreatic islets in human and rabbit diabetes. The diabetes development is followed by a decrease of zinc content in the insulin-producing cells in parallel with the severity of diabetes. The damage to the islet B-cells is the cause of zinc metabolism disturbance in the endocrine pancreas. Influence of high glucose concentration in the blood may be another factor.
