STUDIES OF ARTERIOVENOUS DIFFERENCES IN BLOOD SUGAR

Studies of arteriovenous differences in blood sugar; effect of intravenous insulin and simultaneous glucose feeding.

This is a report dealing with the effects of insulin upon the rate of peripheral glucose assimilation during alimentary hyperglycemia. Available information on the subject is rather scanty. Cori and Cori (1) showed that in rabbits the arteriovenous differences were nearly 50 per cent greater after glucose feeding and simultaneous insulin injection than after glucose feeding alone. Cori, Pucher,...

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...

Effect of Lactobacillus delbrueckii on Blood Sugar in Diabetic Mice

Background and Aims: Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that are beneficial to human health. Probiotics are commonly found in some foods such as dairy products or complementary tablets. A recent research shows that probiotics have a significant role in diabetes type 1 and 2 treatment. Among the variety of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus strains are well known in probiotics for th...

Determination of Sugar in Blood

In recent numbers of this Journal (1, 2) two criticisms have appeared of the present writer’s latest method (3) for the determination of blood sugar. The one of these by West, Scharles, and Peterson (1) is based wholly upon theoretical objections to a procedure which they have apparently not employed for even a single det,ermination. Condemnation based on what may be the shortcomings of a metho...
