BLOOD SUGAR AND FERMENTABLE BLOOD SUGAR AS DETERMINED BY DIFFERENT METHODS

Gasometric Determination of Fermentable Sugar in Blood and Urine

Procedures for fermentative determination, in blood and urine, of glucose, or of sugars resembling it in their fermentability by yeast, have been refined by different investigators during the past few years. The chief source of error, undue prolongation of the time of fermentation to one or more days, was removed by Hiller, Linder, and Van Slyke (1925), who utilized conditions under which gluco...

Ammonia and Blood Sugar

In 1919 Fosse (6) showed that urea is formed by the oxidation of solutions containing such amounts of glucose and ammonia as are present in the blood. Recently Hynd (9) found that “A 2 per cent solution of glucose containing approximately 60 mg. NH3 showed no optical change at room temperature, but after 24 hours at 50” the rotation fell from +0.87” to +0.29” . . . . Similar results were obtain...

Blood Sugar Studies

1. During bacterial anaphylaxis there is a gradual rise in the blood sugar level, which attains an extremely high value at the time of death. 2. The curve of blood sugar is quite similar whether anaphylaxis is induced by organisms which affect the blood sugar in the unsensitized animal or by organisms which have no such effect. 3. No instances occurred in which there was not a marked hyperglyce...
