A role for SPARC in the moderation of human insulin secretion.

<h4>Aims/hypothesis</h4>We have previously shown the implication of the multifunctional protein SPARC (Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine)/osteonectin in insulin resistance but potential effects on beta-cell function have not been assessed. We therefore aimed to characterise th...
