The authors present data- on the protective effect of newborn rabbits pancreatic islet cell culture xenotransplantation of Langerhans islets P-cells of rats with alloxan diabetes. This effect was the most marked in rats fed diets with normal or increased protein content. The authors discuss a possible stimulating effect of rabbit islet cell culture xenooransplantation on regeneration processes in recipient rat pancreatic islets. This effect was better pronounced in rats kept on rations with increased protein content. Further experiments will help more accuretaly define the indications for therapy of insulindependent diabetes mellitus by xenokansplantations of islet cell cultures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
