Abstrakt: Discusses the possible role of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) in the pancreatic beta cells and its effect on the pathogenesis of non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Link between the elevation of plasma NEFA with an increase in glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS); Association between chronic elevation of NEFA with a reduction in GSIS linked to the presence of a beta cell glucose-fatty acid cycle.
