In the light of recent attempts to treat newly-diagnosed Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with cyclosporin A, and reports suggesting an impaired glucose tolerance following immunosuppression therapy with cyclosporin A, we investigated the long-term effects of cyclosporin A on islet beta-

## Abstract Our objective was to study the effects of three (30, 40, and 50 mg/kg) doses of Streptozotocin (STZ) on fasting plasma glucose level (FPG) and observe its effects at the cellular level in rat pancreas by electron microscopy. FPG was measured in rats before induction of diabetes and then
The effect of interference with diacylglycerol metabolism was investigated in pancreatic mouse islets. In the presence of the diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor RHC 80267, glucose-induced insulin secretion was reduced 50-60%; whereas carbacholin-induced insulin secretion was unaffected. Addition of the
