| 1. | The cells that produce insulin are called the Islets of Langerhans.
|
| 2. | Insulin is produced by the pancreas in a region called Islets of Langerhans.
|
| 3. | They also inhibit glucagon release from the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans.
|
| 4. | The islets of Langerhans was discovered in 1869 by an anatomist named Paul Langerhans.
|
| 5. | Within the islets of Langerhans, beta cells constitute 65 80 % of all the cells.
|
| 6. | In the islets of Langerhans, there are beta-cells, which are responsible for production of insulin.
|
| 7. | The encoded protein plays an important role in the embryogenesis of pancreatic islets of Langerhans.
|
| 8. | Insulin is produced exclusively by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
|
| 9. | In mammals, insulin is synthesized in the pancreas within the ?-cells of the islets of Langerhans.
|
| 10. | The better alternative : Doctors will routinely implant healthy islet of Langerhans cells into the pancreas.
