Diagnosis of naturally acquired type-I and type-II diabetes mellitus in cats.

摘要: After IV administration of 0.5 mg glucagon/cat, glucose tolerance and insulin secretory response were evaluated in 10 lean cats, obese 30 cats with diabetes mellitus. Blood samples for determinations collected immediately before at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes after glucagon. Baseline serum concentration used to classify mellitus the as type I or II. Mean (+/- SEM) baseline 30-minute concentrations significantly (P < 0.05) decreased, compared values but similar all other blood sample collection times. Serum diabetic was greater than Two statistically different responses glucagon seen cats. Of 23 had minimal (ie, below sensitivity assay). Seven that In these 7 increased administration. Total secretion not between total cats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
