Relationship between pancreatic lesions and serum glucose values in Mystromys albicaudatus. 1975

R A Stuhlman, and J T Packer, and R E Doyle, and R V Brown, and J F Townsend

Serum glucose levels and pancreatic islet cell changes were studied in combination in 127 Mystromys albicaudatus in an effort to develop better criteria for defining diabetes mellitus in thiss rodent. The study supports a previous report in which 170 mg/100 ml was selected as indicative of hyperglycemia based on statistical analysis of serum glucose distributions. The presence of exceptions to predicted correlations between islet cell changes and serum glucose levels was identified for further study.

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.
