The beta cell lesion in type 2 diabetes: there has to be a primary functional abnormality

Abstract

The critical role of the beta cell in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is now well established. When examined in patients with type 2 diabetes and individuals at increased risk, reductions in beta cell mass and abnormalities of beta cell function can both be demonstrated. The question of whether one alone is sufficient or both are necessary for the development of hyperglycaemia has been debated. Based on human and animal studies, it appears that neither alone is sufficient. Rather, for glucose to rise to the level at which diabetes would be diagnosed, defects in beta cell mass and in beta cell function are required.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
