A member asked:
Is there acinar cell loss in type 2 diabetes ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The reason why acinar cells become atrophic is not clear, most evidence points to an important role of Insulin as a trophic agent, although other factors including autoimmunity against exocrine tissue and vascular damage (microangiopathy) cannot be excluded.
