homeostasis/metabolism
• blood glucose is elevated after administration of diphtheria toxin (DT)
• the hyperglycemia of DT treated mice is decreased by insulin injection
|
• plasma insulin levels are decreased 5 days after administration of DT
• following glucose challenge, insulin levels are not increased in DT treated mice
|
• following DT administration
|
ketoaciduria
(
J:204420
)
• following DT administration
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• pancreatic islets are irregularly arranged, with alpha and beta cells randomly mixed rather than 80% of beta cells surrounded by 20% of other cells, after administration of DT
|
• administration of DT results in a drastic decrease in the number of pancreatic beta cells
|
renal/urinary system
• following DT administration
|
