Pancreatic fat is related to the longitudinal decrease in the increment of C-peptide in glucagon stimulation test in type 2 diabetes patients

Aims/Introduction The relationship between pancreatic fatty infiltration and diabetes is widely known, whereas the causal relationship is not clear. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether pathogenesis of pancreatic fat is similar to that of liver fat. We aimed to clarify the contribution of this type of fat to glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes patients by cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses.
