Chromogranin A‐positive hormone‐negative endocrine cells in pancreas in human pregnancy by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…</p> <h2>Conclusions</h2> <p>Our findings of no increase in CPHN cell frequency in pancreas of pregnant women suggest that this potential β-cell regenerative mechanism is not that by which the increased β-cell mass of pregnancy is achieved. However, an increase in the percentage of clustered β-cells was found in pregnancy, with decreased frequency of other endocrine cells in clusters, suggesting a compensatory shift from other pancreatic endocrine cell types to β-cells as a mechanism to meet the increased insulin demands of pregnancy.…”
