Summary

Adrenalectomy has been performed in the diabetic mouse and the islet immunohistochemistry studied. Adrenalectomy restored blood glucose to normal. Mean islet size of diabetic animals was larger than that of either adrenalectomized diabetic animals or of lean controls. Adrenalectomy restored the immunohistochemical appearance of the islets to normal when examinded with anti-insulin, anti-glucagon and anti-somatostatin antisera.
