Abstract

Pancreatic acinar cells contribute to β-cell neogenesis. Hamsters administered pentadecapeptide of INGAP protein demonstrated a 2-fold increase in the number of extra-islet acinar-associated β-cell clusters resulting in a 2.8-fold increase in the overall extra-islet β cell mass as compared to controls. In mammals acinar-to-β-cell differentiation provides an alternate pathway to β-cell neogenesis; INGAP peptide plays a significant role in this process.
