Background. The diabetes mellitus that occurs in patients with pancreatic cancer is characterized by marked insulin resistance that declines after tumor resection. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), a hormonal factor secreted from the pancreatic beta cells, reduces insulin sensitivity in vivo and glycogen synthesis in vitro. In this study, we examined the relation between IAPP and diabetes in patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods. We measured IAPP in plasma from 30 patients with pancreatic cancer, 46 patients with other cancers, 23 patients with diabetes, and 25 normal subjects. IAPP immunoreactivity and IAPP messenger RNA were studied in pancreatic cancers, pancreatic tissue adjacent to cancers, and normal pancreatic tissue.Results. Plasma IAPP concentrations were elevated in the patients with pancreatic cancer as compared with the normal subjects (mean [+/-SD], 22.3+/-13.6 vs. 8.0+/-5.0 pmol per liter; P
