STUDIES ON GRANULATION TISSUE PRODUCTION IN ALLOXAN-DIABETIC RATS

Abstract
SUMMARY: Alloxan-diabetic rats produce significantly less granulation tissue than normal ones. Locally applied growth hormone (STH), which stimulates granulation tissue in normal rats, lost this ability in diabetic animals. Adrenalectomized alloxan-diabetic rats also fail to respond by increased granulation tissue growth to STH. The stimulation of granulation tissue by STH seems to depend on an adequate supply of insulin.
