The endocrine islet cells comprise only 1-2% of the pancreatic tissue. They synthesize the hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide. Insulin and glucagon maintain glucose homeostasis via their actions on lipid, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. The pancreas originates from two patches of epithelium in the duodenum during the fifth week of gestation in humans. The endocrine pancreatic cells begin to differentiate very... 

The available data for the birth weight, gestation, and weight of the children studied in the Faroe Islands, Seychelles, and New Zealand do not suggest that there are energy or macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate, and fat) deficiencies in these populations. However, micronutrient deficiencies, such as iron and zinc, due to low intake of fortified or unrefined grains, fruits, and vegetables are possible. There...
