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

<table>Photomicrograph of pancreas section of  diabetic rat offspring just after birth showing disturbed islets of Langerhans (IL) with necrosis (nc) and vacuolations (v). Beta cells (b) are hypertrophied, but low in number. Alpha (a) cells are large in number compared to their corresponding control, (pa) pancreatic acini (×400).</table>
