Abstract:Summary Animals with NIDDM display abnormal glucose regulation of insulin secretion and biosynthesis. We tested reversibility of abnormal regulation by normoglycaemia using an islet transplantation technique. Inbred non-diabetic and neonatally STZ diabetic rats (n-STZ) were used. Transplantations insufficient to normalize the blood glucose levels (200 islets under kidney capsule) were performed from diabetic to normal (D-N) and from diabetic to diabetic (D-D), as well as from normal to normal (N-N) and from no… Show more
