They surgically ligated the pancreas of a dog‚ stopping the flow of nourishment‚ so that the pancreas degenerated. Then‚ they removed the pancreas‚ sliced it up and froze the pieces in a mixture of water and salts. They were finally able to ground up and filter the half frozen pieces. The extract was then named isletin‚ which is currently
