Under normal healthy conditions, organisms maintain a dynamic endocrinecell mass throughout life. Pancreatic beta cell mass are able to maintain plasma glucose levels increasing insulin secretion in conditions as obesity.Beta cell inability to compensate in insulin demand provokes hyperglycemia and Type 2 Diabetes. Clinically, most obese individuals do not develop diabetes because islets compensate for insulin resistance. Direct evidence that human islet mass adapts longitudinally to obesity in vivo was lacking and, moreover, little information was available on the mechanismsand cell type(s) involved.Current evidence for increased beta cell mass in obese humans (vs lean) is based entirely on postmortem histology.Aim: In this thesis, firstly...
