Pancreatic Islet Stereology: Estimation of Beta Cells Mass

SUMMARY: Obesity and its comorbidities are becoming epidemic in the Western world. Beta cell mass estimation is an important indicator to track the progression of insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, particularly in experimental studies, where it can be performed with stereological tools in an unbias...
