The pancreatic islets are more richly vascularized than the exocrine pancreas, and possess
a 5‐to 10‐fold higher basal and stimulated blood flow, which is separately regulated. This is …

Vascularization and innervation of the islet of Langerhans are highly interconnected and are
critical for intercellular and intertissular communication. They are both involved in the control …

Pancreatic islets are richly vascularized, and islet blood vessels are uniquely adapted to
maintain and support the internal milieu of the islets favoring normal endocrine function. Islet …

The pancreatic islet is a highly vascularized endocrine mini-organ that depends on blood
supply to function efficiently. As blood flows through islet capillaries reaching different …

Pancreatic blood flow (PBF) and islet blood flow (IBF) have been determined separately in
two different regions of the rat pancreas, namely, that perfused by the superior mesenteric …

The vascular network supporting the islets of Langerhans represents a highly specialised
system of arterioles, capillaries and venules. Several features of the islet vasculature …

Blood flow to the pancreatic islets of the anesthetized rat has been measured by application
of microspheres, intravital staining of the endocrine tissue by Dithizon, and induction of …

The vascular supply is of crucial importance for endocrine organs since the
microvasculature, in addition to supplying oxygen and nutrients, is initially responsible for …

An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that disease states of the endocrine or
exocrine pancreas aggravate one another, which implies bidirectional blood flow between …

Nonradioactive microspheres of various sizes (mean batch diameters ranging from 6 μm to
26 μm) were administered to unfasted rabbits under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia by a …
