β Cells Abnormality Tumour Production Islets Langerhans Formed Excessive

Tumors on pancreatic beta-cells can cause excessive glucagon secretion, leading to hyperglycemia and further damaging the beta-cells.

Abnormität der Tumorproduktion in den Langerhans-Inseln: Tumore können auf β-Zellen entstehen. Sie verursachen übermäßige Glukagonsekretion, was zu einem hohen Blutzuckerspiegel (ähnlich wie Diabetes) führt. Dieser Hyperglykämie schädigt weiter die β-Zellen der Bauchspeicheldrüse.

Front Abnormality of tumour production in islets of Langerhans
Back • Tumours may be formed on β-cells
• It causes excessive secretion of glucagon, causing high blood glucose conc (similar to diabetes)
• This hyperglycaemia further damages the β-cells of pancreas
