At admission, 46 patients displayed an enduring deficit syndrome, which includes lack of emotion, absence of interest in social activities, sparse communication with others, and little sense of purpose in life.
The islet density routes throughout the healthy human pancreas. The pancreatic islets or islets of Langerhans are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (i.e., hormone-producing) cells, discovered in 1869 by German pathological anatomist Paul Langerhans.
These are called the Islets of Langerhans. They secrete two hormones, insulin and glucagon, which maintain blood glucose (sugar) levels. Insulin is secreted in response to high glucose levels in the blood. It lowers sugar levels in the blood by increasing the uptake of glucose into the tissues. Glucagon has the opposite effect.
