METHODS The human pancreases utilized in this study were obtained at autopsy atvarious
undetermined intervals after death, frozen as rapidly as possible, and stored in a deep
freezer until ready for use. The frozen pancreases were extracted by either the acid-alcohol
procedure (4, 5) or the salt-alcohol procedure described by Romans (7, 8). Since preliminary
experiments suggested thatthe latter procedure, with minor modifications, resulted in a
greater yield, it was used in most of the studies conducted dur-ing the past 2 years.
