Maternal Rat Diabetes Mellitus Deleteriously Affects Insulin Sensitivity and Beta-Cell Function in the Offspring

<table>Photomicrograph of pancreas section of  normal rat offspring after one week of birth.  Islets are intact and larger than after birth with higher numbers of beta (b) cells and fewer numbers of alpha (a) cells. Pd: pancreatic ductile; IL: islets of Langerhans; pa: pancreatic acini (×400).</table>
