Microscopic Study Of The Rabbit Pancreas After Vagotomy

Abstract

The microscopic study of the morphological changes in the rabbit pancreas were investigated after vagotomy. Structural changes were observed in the pancreatic acinar cells and in the islets of langerhans two and three weeks after vagotomy. Measurement of the fasting blood glucose level at different intervals of time post operatively and also the glucose tolerance test confirmed the structural changes of the islets of the pancreas after vagotomy.
