Maternal Protein Malnutrition Does Not Impair Insulin Secretion from Pancreatic Islets of Offspring after Transplantation into Diabetic Rats

Maternal Protein Malnutrition Does Not Impair Insulin Secretion from Pancreatic Islets of Offspring after Transplantation into Diabetic Rats

Pancreatic islets from adult rats whose mothers were protein restricted during lactation undersecrete insulin. The current work analyzes whether this secretory dysfunction can be improved when the pancreatic islets are grafted into hyperglycemic diabetic rats. Two groups of rats were used: the adult...
