ABSTRACT
Blood glucose variations and concomitant bioptical cytopathological changes in the pancreatic islets following treatment with certain drugs were studied in the catfish. Glucose loading produced a dose-related hyperglycemia, maximum within 3 hr, while alloxan caused a biphasic rise in glucose level without induction of permanent diabetes. Streptozotocin elicited a monophasic hyperglycemic state at a lower dose and biphasic response at higher doses. Glybenclamide produced hypoglycemia in normal and sham-operated fish; the depancreatized animals were unresponsive to this treatment. In all the cases, normoglycemic values were restituted within 4 days of the treatment. The beta-cells of the islets underwent varying histopathological changes with signs of regenerative activity. A depletion in heavy metal (zinc) in these cells was also evident after treatment with streptozotocin.
