Fig. 4

Part of pancreatic islet of a hIAPP+/+mIAPP−/−female mouse, fed a high-fat diet for 9 months. Part of a beta cell is seen in the upper right corner and a capillary in the lower left corner. Islet amyloid polypeptide immunoreactivity (10 nm gold particles) is seen along the basement membrane but no clear-cut amyloid fibrils occur. Bar = 500 nm.
