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.
切除鳗鱼的胰腺会导致血糖有轻微升高的趋势;全胰腺切除和部分胰腺切除会使血清总胆固醇下降。因此,在这种硬骨鱼中完全去除胰岛组织并不会引发糖尿病,而且含胆固醇血清成分的内分泌调控似乎与哺乳动物不同。
