Summary

Cross-sectional study to investigate subjects at different stages of type 2 diabetes development with expected stratification of pancreatic islet mass. Non-diabetic individuals were assigned as control. The primary outcome was the [11C]5-hydroxy-tryptophan uptake and retention in the pancreas as a surrogate marker for the endogenous islet mass.
