Are the islet cells of pancreas producers of bicarbonate to neutralize chyme?

How is serum insulin made?
Insulin is made by the islet cells in the pancreas. These are the endocrine cells found in the pancreas.
How does the pancreas control blood glucose levels?
Blood levels of glucagon and insulin are controlled by islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, in which some of the islet cells, called alpha cells, secrete the hormone glucagon and other islet cells, called beta cells, secret insulin.
Which cell type in the pancreas is responsible for the uptake of glucose in cells?
Beta Islet Cells
What is Islet cells transplant?
Pancreatic islet cell transplantation involves taking the cells that produce insulin from a second source such as a donor pancreas and transplanting them into a patient.
Can someone donate islet cells?
Someone can donate islet cells through his donor pancreas. The islets are infused into the liver of the patient. Islet cell transplantation is an experimental treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus.
What alternate treatment is available to pancreas transplantation?
Innovations in islet cell transplants, a procedure that involves transplanting a culture of the insulin-producing islet cells of a healthy pancreas to a patient with type I diabetes.

What is the main function of the islet cells in the pancreas?
The islet cells or islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are responsible for producing the pancreatic hormones which are glucagon and insulin. Insulin is released when blood glucose levels are too high and glucagon is released when blood glucose levels are too low.
