Zusammenfassung

Die Primärstruktur des Insulins ist bei Hund und Schweinidentisch. Elektronenmikroskopisch wurde festgestellt, dass die sekretorischen Granulae der pankreatischenβ-Zellen bei beiden Arten eine unregelmässige Form haben. Eine quantitative Analyse ergab jedoch, dass dieβ-Granulae des Hundes länger sind als die des Schweines.
