Abstract
Summary
Blood of rabbits injected with doses of alloxan monohydrate sufficient to determine an experimental condition of severe diabetes shows a slight delay of the clotting time of both whole blood and recalcified plasma but not accompanied by any appreciable modification of other tests giving more analytical information of the clotting process. The slight hypocoagulability, which is probably non-specific, is not due to the hyperglycemia as it is not corrected by an amount of insulin sufficient to normalize transitorily the blood sugar level.
