Pancreatic transplants in large experimental diabetic animals maintain fasting euglycemia, but do not achieve normal glucose tolerance. This and other hormonal and metabolic defects influence the efficacy of these grafts to control or reverse the complications of diabetes. The aim of this study was to see if such defects exist, and how they might alter with time.Twelve dogs were studied 1 and 3 months after receiving intrasplenic autotransplants of collagenase‐dispersed pancreatic fragments. Thirty‐three normal animals acted as controls. Blood glucose, lactate, pyruvate, alanine, glycerol, 3‐hydroxybutyrate, cholesterol, free fatty acids, dinsulin, glucagon, and cortisol were determined in the fasting state and following an intravenous glucose load. At 1 month, glucose clearance (K) was reduced and there were elevated fasting levels of glycerol, cholesterol, free fatty acids, and 3‐hydroxybutyrate. At 3 months, significant improvements in K had occurred and intermediary metabolism returned to normal. There was a significant increase in glucosestimulated insulin output measured in peripheral blood between 1 and 3 months. Profiles for glucagon and cortisol were normal throughout the study.Unlike segmental pancreatic transplants, the pancreatic islet graft demonstrates functional improvement with time, a feature of considerable importance for future clinical studies.
