Type 2 Diabetes Macroscopy The gross appearance of the pancreas is little affected in type 2 diabetes. In our series the mean weight of the pancreas was only slightly reduced but in control series important variations were observed [82]. The relative weight of the lobe rich in PP-cells was, however, significantly increased, reaching 15% of the whole gland versus 10% in healthy individuals. KLOPPEL has recently shown that the weight of the pancreas is higher in obese than in nonobese patients, whether they are diabetic or not [45].
This atrophy is probably the morphological consequence of the disappearance of insulin, which is known to exert a trophic effect on the exocrine pancreas [1, 72, 94] as recently confirmed by experimental data [47]. Histological Appearance of the Islets Type 1 Diabetes of Recent Onset LECOMPTE [53], GEPTS [24], DONIACH and MORGAN [17], and JUNKER et al.
