AB  - The  islets  of  Langerhans  in  the  pancreas  contain  four  main  types  of  endocrine  cells  (Table  24–1).  These  cells  include  glucagon-producing  alpha  cells  (A  or  α),  insulin-  and  amylin-producing  beta  cells  (B  or  β),  somatostatin-producing  delta  cells  (D  or  δ),  and  pancreatic  polypeptide-producing  cells  (F).  Of  these,  the  insulin-producing  B  cells  are  the  most  numerous.  The  most  common  disease  related  to  pancreatic  function  is  diabetes  mellitus  (DM),  a  deficiency  of  insulin  production  or  effect.
