[Occurrence of glycogen-deposites in acinar cells of pancreas in prediabetic sand rats (Psammomys obesus) (author's transl)].
The investigations were in 6 prediabetic and 8 normoglycemic sand rats carried out with a histochemical method (PAS-reaction). Glycogen is present in pancreatic acinar cells in various quantity. It is in the cytoplasm homogenously distributed. The PAS positive acini are near the islets of Langerhans localized, which have in their B cells also glycogen deposites. The phenomenon is by the vascularisation of the pancreas explained.
