title: [Effect of fasting, glucose load and dithizone injections on the zinc content in pancreatic islets of the rabbit].
abstract: The content of zinc in the pancreatic islets was increased in fasting animals and reduced after a glucose load and dithizone injection. A negative correlation between the blood sugar level and the zinc content in the pancreatic islets was encountered. A changed content of zinc in the islet cells may serve as a sensitive indicator of changes in the functional condition of the pancreatic insular apparatus.
