– Comparison of "pancreas size" and "pancreatic fat content" in 43 Korean and 30 Korean women with similar physique
– The size of the pancreas in Korea is as low as 12.3%, and the fat content of the pancreas is about 22.8%

Professor Im Seok, professor of internal medicine at the Seoul National University, badyzed the relationship between pancreatic size and insulin secretory capacity in Korean and Western-based constitution and of similar age. In fact, there is no clear evidence that Koreans who are different from Westerners and who take smaller meals are more likely to have diabetes, which is why research has shown that the size of the pancreas affects the academic world.
The team compared the pancreatic volume (volume) and pancreatic fat content of Koreans and Westerners with the help of a state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) scan. In addition, we investigated insulin secretion and pancreatic function in pancreatic beta cells to badess the relationship between pancreas size and fat content and insulin secretion.
People First, the fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels were not different between the two groups, and there was no difference between the groups in total cholesterol, the triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol
In comparison, the size of the pancreas was 12.3% smaller in Koreans than in Westerners, and the amount of fat deposited in the pancreas was 22 , 8% to that of Westerners.
The insulin secretion capacity was 36.5% lower than that of the western population. These results suggest that the absolute size of the Korean pancreas is low and that the insulin secretion capacity in the pancreas is diminished even though it is similar to that of the West

| ▲ Comparison of pancreas size between Koreans and Westerners (the same age, the same type of pancreas compared to the West in Korea as the size of the pancreas is small and the fatty deposits in the pancreas) [19659010] And pancreatic beta cells producing insulin. Here, the function of beta cells in the pancreas is damaged because of the insulin secretion is not properly reported, the beta cells in the pancreas is contained in a group of cells called sodo. Therefore, the larger the size of the pancreas, the greater the number of sodas can be seen, through which the ability to secrete insulin through beta cells can be measured.
It is also known that when the fat contained in the pancreas is large, the inflammatory cytokines and the vasoactive substances secreted by the adipocytes reduce the beta cells and cause pancreatic dysfunction. As a result, Koreans have a smaller pancreas size than westerners and the pancreas secreted by the pancreas is deteriorated, and the pancreas is more vulnerable to pancreatic function, making it difficult to control blood sugar. Professor Min Soo Lim of the Seoul National Hospital, responsible for the study, said: "The precise and objective measurement of the volume of the pancreas by means of advanced tomodensitometry , comparing Koreans with Westerners, "In terms of diabetes mellitus, 10% of Koreans aged 20 and over (estimated at 4 million) have a low dietary intake and a low degree of obesity compared to Westerners . But there is a great importance in the fact that he has provided new grounds for the cause of the increase in domestic diabetic patients. "He said.
