Is Multifocality an Indicator of Aggressive Behavior in Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumors?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:We examined how lipotoxicity contributes to pancreatic beta-cell secretory dysfunction. METHODS:Effects of palmitate (0.2 mmol/L) were assessed on insulin secretion and soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor exocytotic machinery in isolated pancreatic islets of type 2 diabetic...
