[Pancreatectomy in the eel: effects on serum glucose and cholesterol].
Pancreatectomy in the eel causes a slight tendency toward hyperglycemia; total and partial pancreatectomies cause a drop of total serum cholesterol. Thus, complete removal of the islet tissue in this teleost is not followed by diabetes mellitus, and also the endocrine control of the cholesterol-containing serum components seems to differ from that in mammals.
