The avian endocrine pancreas shares some similarities with mammals but also some clinically relevant differences in anatomy and physiology. Diabetes mellitus, an uncommon disease of pet birds, is a challenging condition because of lack of knowledge of the exact pathophysiology and responses to insulin therapy. This article reviews the anatomy and physiology of the avian pancreas and describes the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes mellitus in pet birds.
鸟类的内分泌胰腺与哺乳动物有一些相似之处，但在解剖学和生理学方面也存在一些与临床相关的差异。糖尿病是宠物鸟中一种不常见的疾病，由于对确切的病理生理学以及对胰岛素治疗的反应缺乏了解，它是一种具有挑战性的病症。本文综述了鸟类胰腺的解剖学和生理学，并描述了宠物鸟糖尿病的病因、诊断和治疗方法。
