Percentage of subjects with fasting plasma glucose higher than 100 mg/dl in relation to β-cell volume (lower or greater than 1.1%). Case subjects were obese and nondiabetic either with IFG or with diabetes. A higher percentage of individuals with increased glucose values had reduced β-cell volume. Adapted from Ritzel RA, Butler AE, Rizza RA, Veldhuis JD, Butler PC: Relationship between β-cell mass and fasting blood glucose concentration in humans. Diabetes Care 2006;29:717–718.
