Gold fish hyperinsulinism

Induction of Hyperinsulinism00:00:00

A goldfish is placed in a solution containing insulin. The fish rapidly absorbs the insulin through its gills, causing symptoms such as twitching, convulsive movements, and an inability to maintain an upright position.

Progression to Coma00:01:11

Due to the brain's deprivation of glucose caused by the insulin, the fish eventually stops swimming and enters a comatose state.

Recovery via Glucose Treatment00:01:31

The comatose fish is transferred to a 10% glucose solution. The glucose restores the fish's brain activity, leading to a full recovery of swimming behavior within 15 minutes, illustrating the danger of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients.
