Summary
The goals of this project are to build an experimental tool to dissect out in vivo pancreatic
beta cell mass (BCM) and beta cell function (BCF) and to assess for the first time these two
determinants of beta cell functional mass (BCFxM) in obesity and in various stages of type 1
and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
