Topologically Heterogeneous Beta Cell Adaptation in Response to High-Fat Diet in Mice

Figure 2

Beta cell mass morphometry in control and HFD mice.

A. Beta cell mass in the entire pancreas after 6 weeks (n = 6 mice). B. Beta cell mass by pancreatic region after 6 weeks (n = 6 mice per region). C. Beta cell cluster area in the entire pancreas after 6 weeks (n = 6 mice). D. Beta cell cluster area by pancreatic region after 6 weeks (n = 6 mice per region). E. Islet density in the entire pancreas after 6 weeks (n = 6 mice). F. Islet density by pancreatic region after 6 weeks (n = 6 mice per region). G. Beta cell area in the entire pancreas after 12 weeks (n = 6 mice). H. Beta cell area by pancreatic region after 12 weeks (n = 6 mice per region). DR = duodenal region, GR = gastric region, SR = splenic region, HFD = high-fat diet. *p<0.05, #p<0.05 by unpaired Student's t test.
