Immunohistomorphology of pancreatic islet microvasculature and the immunophenotypic analysis of CEPC in adult diabetic rats

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Hyperglycaemia is one of the main causes for the endothelial cell (EC) damage in diabetic patients. Even though circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CEPC) could be used as a prognosis for microvascular complications, there is very little information on the islet microvasculature. We analyse...
