Abstract
Summary
A highly reproducible and precise method for determination of “insulinlike” activity using glucose uptake by the epididymal fat body has been presented. It permits the assay of “insulin-like” activity in as little as 3 ml of serum with a calculation of relative potency with confidence limits as well as a test for assay validity.
The authors are indebted to J. L. Ciminera and A. G. Itkin for their assistance with statistical evaluation of data.
