Excerpt

Pancreatic islets are highly vascularised and contain about five times more capillaries than exocrine pancreatic tissue [1, 2]. In addition, the islets receive 5–15% of the entire pancreatic blood supply, even though they represent only 1–2% of the pancreatic mass [3]. Moreover, as determined by beta cell- or pancreas-specific deletion of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), the islet microvasculature is required for normal insulin release and physiological blood glucose levels [4, 5], indicating that a dense islet vasculature is needed for proper islet function. In addition, VEGF-A is necessary for proper islet revascularisation following islet transplantation [5, 6]. …
