Chapter 33.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How an insulinoma affects blood glucose level and liver activity.
Introduction:
Insulinomas are tumors that affect pancreas and it is derived from ß-cells. Insulinoma is a rare type of neuroendocrine tumor. It is also known as islet cell tumor. Insulinomas belong to the functional PNET (Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor) group as they increase the secretion of insulin.
