2.	Amyloid Plaque 01/01/1992 - "In order to examine the effect of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP/amylin), a product of the pancreatic beta cell and a major component of islet amyloid deposits, on exocrine pancreatic function, we studied the effect of rat IAPP amide (IAPP-NH2) on 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) uptake in isolated mouse pancreatic acini. " 03/01/1990 - "Amylin amide, a 37-amino acid peptide that is a major component of amyloid deposits in the diabetic pancreas, possesses vasodilator activity. "
3.	Edema (Dropsy) 03/01/1990 - "Amylin amide did not induce edema formation; however, as a consequence of its vasodilator activity, amylin amide potentiated edema formation induced in rabbit skin by bradykinin. "
