Abstract
Summary
Injections of either glucose or fructose (0.5 g/kg, iv) given during a continuous infusion of oleic acid, produced elevations of plasma TGL in fasting geese significantly greater than those produced by infusion of oleic acid alone. The elevation of plasma TGL produced by injection of fructose is smaller than that produced by the injection of glucose. The same doses of glucose or fructose injected into fasting geese, in the absence of oleic acid infusion, caused small but significant decreases of plasma FFA and TGL. No significant difference between glucose and fructose was found in this respect. Infusion of oleic acid caused a small but significant decrease of plasma glucose concentration.
