Studies on Insulin Secreted by Isolated Islets of the Monkey, Macaca radiata radiata Free

The effects of various experimental conditions during the isolation of monkey islets by the collagenase method on the insulinogenic response of the isolated islets to glucose have been studied and compared with rat islets isolated under similar conditions. The monkey islets gave a normal response for at least 120 min. The results are compared with available studies on primate islets.
