Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By histological analysis of pancreas tissue, we have reported the effects of DPP-4 inhibitor on beta cell mass. We have also reported the changes in alpha and beta cell mass in individuals with pancreas cancer. Based on the findings of our research, we have published a review article and proposed "beta cell centric concept" as a new therapeutic strategy for diabetes to protect beta cell.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
膵β細胞量の減少は1型、2型糖尿病に共通の病態であることを我々はこれまで日本人の膵組織学的検討により報告してきた。β細胞量に影響する因子についても検討を行い、膵癌患者ではα/β細胞比が大きくなることから、今後さらに詳細な検討によりヒトβ細胞量を調節する機序の一端が明らかとなる可能性が示された。これらの知見からβ細胞保護の重要性を引き続き社会に提唱することで、より効果的な糖尿病の予防、治療の確立に貢献していく。
