Intrahepatic transplantation of pancreatic islets in the rat. 1977

R Eloy, and M Kedinger, and J C Garaud, and K Haffen, and J F Launay, and J Moody, and G Clendinnen, and A F Grenier

Islets of Langerhans from isogeneic donor rats were transplanted directly into the hepatic parenchyma of recipients which had been made severely diabetic by streptozotocin (glycaemia ranging between 400 and 1090 mg%). Complete control lasting up to 13 months was achieved in 65% of recipients by using 600-800 islets. Following intravenous glucose administration, each rat responded similarly to normal rats with a rapid but reduced release of insulin. Cytoimmunofluorescence and electron microscopic studies demonstrated the presence of both functional insulin and glucagon cells, within the transplanted islets. It is suggested that for various reasons direct intrahepatic transplantation might become the preferred method for islets.

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).

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.
