Title: Occurrence of spontaneous diabetes mellitus in a cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) and impaired glucose tolerance in its descendants. Author: Yasuda M, Takaoka M, Fujiwara T, Mori M. Journal: J Med Primatol; 1988; 17(6):319-32. PubMed ID: 3065509. Abstract: Spontaneous diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in a cynomolgus monkey. Clinical and pathological features, such as abnormal glucose tolerance, loss of insulin response, or degeneration of pancreatic beta-cells, resemble human noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Two descendants of the monkey have developed impaired glucose tolerance and insulin response. Genetic factors seem involved in the appearance of carbohydrate intolerance in this family group of monkeys.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
