Abstract
Summary
Experiments are reported in which it was found; that CaC'4O3 implanted intraperitoneally in rats produced a qualitatively similar isotope distribution pattern in the liver glycogen, and blood glucose and lactate. This result suggests that in isotope feeding experiments, analysis of the blood glucose and lactate may yield information comparable to that obtained by the degradation of liver glycogen. Additional experiments to put this question to a more critical test are in progress.
