Pancreas Islet Species Comparison
Species	Age	Islet size (μm)	β-cell ratio
Human	39 years (adult)	50 ± 29	0.64 ± 0.21
Monkey	1 year	67 ± 38^*	0.79 ± 0.14^*
Pig	6 month	49 ± 15^a	0.89 ± 0.11^*
Rabbit	6 month	64 ± 28^*	0.79 ± 0.17^*
Bird	40 day	24 ± 6^*	0.46 ± 0.24^*
Wild-type mouse	6 month	116 ± 80^*	0.85 ± 0.14^*
Pregnant mouse	3 month	112 ± 94^*	0.84 ± 0.22^*
ob/ob mouse	15 week	86 ± 76^*	0.92 ± 0.11^*
db/db mouse	15 week	47 ± 24^b	0.53 ± 0.24^c
^*p < 0.0001 ^ap = 0.65 ^bp = 0.42 ^cp = 0.0004 compared with human. Islet size is described as an effective diameter of a circle, which depicts the same area as a measured islet area. β-cell ratio is the area ratio of β-cells in an islet. Both data sets are expressed as the mean value with its standard deviation.
