Electron microscopic investigations have shown that after 5 days the pancreatic B-cells of thyroidectomized rats are characterized by marked endoplasmic reticulum dilatations, the reduction of Golgi complex, and the secretory granule extrusion into pericapillary spaces. Later (after 30 days), the insuline granule extrusion from B-cells is retarded, and an increased number of mielin figures in the cytoplasm is observed.
