pubmed:abstractText
Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease in which pancreatic islet amyloid is a characteristic histopathological finding. Islet amyloid fibrils consist of the beta-cell protein "islet amyloid polypeptide" (IAPP)/"amylin". Unlike human IAPP (hIAPP), mouse IAPP cannot form amyloid. In previously generated transgenic mice, high expression of hIAPP as such did not induce islet amyloid formation. To further explore the potential diabetogenic role of amyloidogenic IAPP, we introduced a diabetogenic trait ("ob" mutation) in hIAPP transgenic mice.
