Regulation of blood glucose levels and body weight in diabetic rats after islet transplantation. A, Animals with islet transplants in isolated vascular sac (group 1, -●-) or intraportally (group 2, -○-). Note that hyperglycemia promptly recurred when islet-bearing venous sac was removed in animals (arrow) (P<0.05), which confirmed that glycemic control was caused by transplanted islets. B, Showing gains in body weight in diabetic rats with improvement in blood glucose levels. Tx, transplantation.
