The response of islet amyloid polypeptide and insulin and their molar ratios were investigated in eight healthy volunteers before and after treatment with dexamethasone by oral and frequently-sampled intravenous glucose tolerance tests. Following dexamethasone treatment the insulin sensitivity index

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
The objective was to evaluate the effect of insulin treatment on circulating islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). Twelve patients with NIDDM and secondary failure were studied on oral agents and then switched to insulin treatment. Fasting and postprandial IAPP concentrations were measured on oral treat
The impact of (pancreatic) islet amyloid polypeptide on glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity was examined in isolated rat livers perfused in a non-recirculating system. Continuous infusion of 10-7mol/1 islet amyloid polypeptide affected neither basal nor glucagon (10-9 mol/1)stimulated glucose
