Does it matter where in the peritoneal space an artificial pancreas is placed?
Does it matter where in the peritoneal space an artificial pancreas is placed?
In a pig study recently published by Marte Kierulf Åm and colleagues in Artificial Pancreas Trondheim, no significant differences were found in glucose dynamics in the four quadrants of the peritoneal space. The study was published in PLoS One and the full paper can be read here.
Determining the optimal location for an intraperitoneal artificial pancreas might therefore depend on other criteria than glucose sensing.
