Some of the functions of the pancreas are as an endocrine gland - whose function is an important aspect of the endocrine system. Other important aspects of the pancreas are as an exocrine gland - secreting enzymes necessary for the digestive system. Remember that endocrine glands differ from "...

The most common forms of pancreatogenic diabetes involve sustained exocrine disease leading to ductal obstruction, acinar inflammation, and fibro-fatty replacement of the exocrine pancreas that predates the development of dysfunction of the endocrine pancreas, as seen in chronic pancreatitis-associated ...

Subgroup analysis looking at the time course of concomitant pancreatic exocrine and endocrine insufficiency was also conducted. Pooled prevalence and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated for all outcome measures and P-values < 0.05 were deemed statistically significant.RESULTS: ...
Acinar cells are exposed to endocrine secretions (in a reciprocal relationship) via cell-to-cell contact between exocrine and endocrine tissue as well as direct capillary connections between the islets and acini within the insulinoacinar portal system.89,90 Islet cell hormones enter the systemic ...

Thepancreas functionsboth as an endocrine and an exocrine gland and is associated with illnesses such as type II diabetes, that have a considerable age-related disease risk. The exocrine function is mediated by acinar cells producingenzymesfor the digestive system, while theendocrine functionis mediat...
