{wiki=Junker_test}
The Junker test is a specialized diagnostic test used primarily in the field of veterinary medicine, particularly for assessing the function of the pancreas in animals, especially dogs. The test evaluates the ability of pancreatic tissues to produce insulin in response to glucose, helping to diagnose conditions like diabetes mellitus or other pancreatic dysfunctions. In this test, a glucose solution is administered to the animal, and blood samples are taken at various intervals to measure blood glucose levels, as well as insulin levels if needed.
