| Abstract Text | Diabetes mellitus type 2 (type-2 diabetes) is a metabolic disorder characterized by the increased blood glucose concentration and insulin resistance in peripheral tissues (e.g., muscles and adipose tissue). The initiation of the pathological cascade of events that lead to type-2 diabetes has been subject of debate; however, it has been commonly accepted that the oversecretion of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP, a hormone co-secreted with insulin) by the pancreatic |
