Conditional islet hypovascularisation does not preclude beta cell expansion during pregnancy in mice
2017
Aims/hypothesis
Endothelial–endocrine cell interactions and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A signalling are deemed essential for maternal islet vascularisation, glucose control and beta cell expansion during mouse pregnancy. The aim of this study was to assess whether pregnancy-associated beta cell expansion was affected under conditions of islet hypovascularisation.
