pancreas

Two scientists studying metabolism accidentally discovered that removing a dog’s pancreas caused diabetes—paving the way for the discovery of insulin.

This may make it harder to absorb nutrients, increase the risk of bacterial imbalances, and stop the pancreas and liver working properly.

Side effects include, external vomiting, fatigue and an inflamed pancreas.

Doctors say they have seen dangerous, life-threatening complications such as inflammation of the pancreas in such cases.

The paediatrician said she was confused by blood test results that showed Baby F, who died in August 2015, had high levels of insulin but low levels of a chemical called C-Peptide, which is released by the pancreas when it produces insulin.
