Abstract
Fine structural studies have been made on the pancreatic beta cell of the cod following treatment with streptozotocin. The beta cells from treated fish contain increased numbers of lysosomes which contain secretory granules. In some cells aberrant granules have been observed. It appears that the drug may inhibit granule release and also interfere with normal secretory granule production.Keywords
