摘要
There is suggestive evidence that amylin acts physiologically in an autocrine manner within the islet to restrain insulin secretion, but conversely there is little indication that this action of amylin plays any role in the development of NIDDM. Deposition of amylin within pancreatic islets is a feature in patients with NIDDM but is of sufficient degree to disrupt beta-cell function in only a small minority of individuals. Current evidence suggests that amylin does not have any physiologically important extra-islet metabolic effects. The potential exists for the development of amylin antagonists as pharmacological agents to enhance insulin secretion in NIDDM but antagonism of systemic CGRP would need to be avoided. There is little, if any, indication that either replacement of amylin or treatment with amylin agonists are likely to have any beneficial role in patients with IDDM.
