Abstract
Summary
Depancreatized dogs maintained on a standard regime were dehydrated by producing glycosuria along with restricted water intake. It was found that the basal insulin requirement of the animals in this state was increased above that which they had normally without dehydration, but with other conditions the same.
If the dogs be given enough water so that no dehydration results from the glycosuria no increase in the basal insulin requirement results.
