To determine whether chronic overproduction of islet amyloid polypeptide alters beta-cell function, we studied a line of transgenic mice which overexpress islet amyloid polypeptide in their beta-cells. At 3 months of age, these transgenic mice had greater pancreatic content of both islet amyloid pol
