title: Differential changes in islet amyloid polypeptide (amylin) and insulin mRNA expression after high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance in C57BL/6J mice.
abstract: Islet amyloid, derived from islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP or amylin), frequently occurs in type 2 diabetes. Availability of this peptide for amyloid formation may be enhanced by increased islet expression of IAPP. In the insulin resistant state, euglycemia is maintained by hypersecretion of insulin.
