OBSERVATIONS ON ALIMENTARY HYPERGLYCEMIA

Effect of insulin hypoglycemia on alimentary hyperglycemia.

Insulin action is generally associated with an acceleration of glucose assimilation. If, for instance, a healthy person in the postabsorptive state is given glucose and simultaneously receives a small intravenous dose (from 3 to 5 units) of insulin, the resulting blood sugar time curve (glucose tolerance curve) is much flatter than one obtained upon feeding the same amount of glucose but withou...

TRODAT-1 and Tc-99m ECD observations in hyperglycemia hemichorea

We describe two cases of right hyperglycemia hemichorea (HGHC) with identical Tc-99m TRODAT-1/ Tc-99m ECD scan findings. While the brain MRI showed signal alterations within the left putamen, there was evidence of hyperperfusion on Tc-99m TRODAT-1 but hypoperfusion on Tc-99m ECD within the left putamen, in association with hyperperfusion within left thalamus on Tc-99m ECD. The discrepancy betwe...

the Influence of Thyroidectomy on Alimentary Glycosuria

1. Removal of the thyroid glands causes a rise in the assimilation limit for dextrose. 2. If the parathyroids are left, this result is permanent. 3. The thyroids probably inhibit normally the direct combustion of the sugar in the muscles.

Effect of protamine on alimentary lipemia.

The effect of protamine on the serum lipids during alimentary lipemia was investigated in normal male students and this effect was compared with that in atherosclerotic and in nonatherosclerotic men of the same age group. In the student group protamine produced a highly significant increase in the total fatty acid level, whereas in the 2 older groups no significant change occurred. These result...
