[The effect of exocrine glandular tissue on the transplantation results of isolated islands of Langerhans]. 1979

U Gerasch, and K D Rumpf

Islet cells were transplanted into isologous rat strains with exocrine pancreatic tissue as contaminant. The relationship of transplant function to the degree of contamination was tested. No influence on transplant success was found despite a five fold amount of exocrine tissue in one group after transplantation into livers of diabetic animals. But a 12-fold contamination of the 2000 isolated islets of Langerhans did not allow a normalization of blood sugar content. The glucose assimilation coefficient was constantly below 1.0. Purification of islet cell transplants was estimated by determination of amylase activity per islet according to SUTHERLAND.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
