[Intravenous glucose tolerance test in the functional exploration of segmental pancreatic autografts in the dog].

The aim of the present study is based on the comparison of intravenous tolerance testing before and after segmental pancreas autotransplantation in the dog. The results show that such testing must take in account the "glucose diffusion space", using the same glucose load in order to avoid the bias related to the post-operative loss of body weight.
