There is an interaction between reproduction and energy stores. Both the production and
secretion of insulin by pancreatic islet β-cells must adapt to the metabolic demands of
various environmental stresses related to reproduction and energy status. These
adaptations must occur in a sex specific manner. It is therefore conceivable that
reproductive hormones play a role in β-cell adaptation to environmental stresses. This
review explores the roles of estrogen, androgen, progesterone, and lactogens in
pancreatic β-cell mass and function under conditions of metabolic stress such as
pregnancy, obesity, and diabetes.
