Abstract
Clinicopathologic examination of a crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis) with chronic weight loss and bilateral cataracts revealed high fasting serum glucose, glucosuria and hypercholesterolemia. Clinical signs were eliminated by treatment once a day with isopane insulin suspension. Extensive insular amyloidosis was found microscopically sixty days later.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
