The
aim of this brief chapter is to highlight Leeuwenhoek's significant
contributions to science through the invention of the microscope, an instrument
that enabled him to observe a wide range of biological materials, including
microorganisms, plant tissues, animal tissues, and observations in bodily
fluids such as blood and sperm. He discovered spermine and other polyamine
crystals in human sperm for the first time. We now know that these wonderful
molecules control numerous roles in organisms and lead to homeostasis, despite
the fact that he didn't realise it. Polyamines have been studied in humans in
both healthy and diseased states. Its involvement in hyperglycemic conditions
is discussed here in relation to pancreatic function.
