title: Changes in carbohydrate metabolism and endocrine function of remnant pancreas after major pancreatic resection.
abstract: Changes of glucose tolerance after partial pancreatectomy were divided into three types depending on the extent of resection. When 88 per cent or more of the pancreas was resected, hyperglycemia developed immediately, and when 70 to 88 per cent of the pancreas was resected, diabetes occurred after six weeks or more, but diabetes did not develop at all when less than 70 per cent of the pancreas was removed. The secretion of glucagon was maintained well, but that of insulin was easily impaired after resection of 70 per cent or more of the entire pancreas.
