Abstract
Of 27 young male CD-1 mice infected with the M variant of the encephalomycarditis (EMC) virus and surviving for 11 or 12 mo, all but three had normal glucose tolerance curves, and all displayed normal islet cell morphology, at the time of sacrifice, in spite of an initital hyperglycemic response. Three animals maintained diabetic glucose tolerance curves one year after infection but they, too, failed to show significant morphological alterations in their pancreatic beta cells.
