  • Title: [The ultrastructure of pancreatic beta cells in dithizone diabetes and its prevention by sodium diethyldithiocarbamate].
    Author: Meĭramov GG, Trukhanov NI.
    Journal: Probl Endokrinol (Mosk); 1975; 21(6):92-5. PubMed ID: 176649.
    Abstract:
    Administration of a nondiabetogenic complex-former-sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (SDEDTC) to rabbits prevented the appearance in beta-cells of the insular apparatus of histological and ultramicroscopic changes with the subsequent administration of a potent diabetogenic agent-ditisone. SDEDTC blocked the insular zinc and prevented ditisone from forming in the islets a complex with this metal producing a destructive action of beta-cells.
