Abstract
Fasting animals show a different counter regulation for iletin than animals which received food. Rabbits with food plus iletin may show lowering of the blood-sugar for periods of eight hours. Convulsions have been observed as long as 14 hours after the iletin injection. This indicates that iletin is not rapidly destroyed or eliminated by the animal body. No change in the tolerance for iletin was observed after a daily administration of the extract for 83 days.
