TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the innervation of human islets is different from that of mouse islets and does not conform to existing models of autonomic control of islet function.

TL;DR: This study directly demonstrates that autonomic axons innervating the islet modulate glucose homeostasis in mice and finds that parasympathetic innervation influences islet function in C57BL/6 mice but not in 129X1 mice, which reflected differences in innervation densities.
