“…The present experimental results do not confirm the hypothesis of the selective destruction by CoC12 of the pancreatic A-cells (van Campenhout and Comelis, 1951;Goldner et al, 1954;Creutzfeldt, 1954;Holt, 1954;Fodden, 1956;Rode, 1960;Vaissman, 1962). Another factor arguing against this hypothesis is that following CoC12 administration only Part of the A-cells (about 30 %) appear vacuolized (Goldner et al, 1954;Hultquist, 1959b;Hultquist, 1961;Lacy and Cardeza, 1959;Nordmann and Wolf, 1960). Likewise, the glucagon vaiues taken from blood plasma do not show, in these conditions, a decrease of glucagon concentration which should appear in the case of a toxic action of CoC12 upon A-cells (Lochner, 1964;.…”
