Abstract

This part of the study concerns with the description of the gross and microscopic appearance of pancreas and liver of cattle and buffaloe after induction of experimental pancreatitis using local injection of chloroform and from animals after exp < /strong>erimental dia betes using alloxan. As control specimens collected
from slaughter house of Assiut were used. The correlation between metabolic profile of carbo hydrates ( blood glucose and hepatic glycogen) and the morphological prop < /strong>erties of the endocrine p < /strong>art of the pancreas was considered and discussed. Also the effect of damaged exocrine part of the pancreas on the behaviour of the enzyme parameters was evalua ted.
