STIMULATION OF THE SUGAR-REGULATING MECHANISM AS SHOWN BY DUPLICATE BLOOD SUGAR CURVES

Stimulation of the Sugar-regulating Mechanism as Shown by Duplicate Blood Sugar Curves.*

After the oral administration of glucose, when the concentration of the sugar in the blood is falling, ingestion of a second dose of glucose may result in little or no increase in blood sugar. This occurred in nine out of thirteen experiments conducted by Foster (1). Maclean and de Wesselow (2) had previously reported a single case in which a second dose of glucose produced a curve which was ne...

Benign Glycosuria Due to Disturbances in the Blood Sugar Regulating Mechanism.

Chr. Bohr, the Danish physiologist, always emphasized the importance of making an exact study of the adjustments exhibited by the organism to adapt the functions of the various organs to each other, and thereby to ensure the equilibrium of the organism necessary for maintaining a healthy, undisturbed life. Among these adjustments that of the blood sugar is one of the most interesting, both on a...
