Further studies on ligation of the thyroid arteries in depancreatized diabetic dogs

Conclusions

1. The mortality of completely depancreatized dogs after ligation of the thyroid arteries is high.

2. Glycosuria in depancreatized diabetic dogs was checked after complete ligation of the thyroid arteries.

3. Tetanyor infection, or both, seem to interfere with the disappearance of the glycosuria.

4. Partial ligation of the thyroid arteries apparently intensifies the diabetes produced by pancreatectomy.
