Abstract
Summary
If used in thin sheets with a minimum of tissue injury isolated skeletal muscle in the form of the internal oblique muscle of the rat forms more glycogen under the influence of insulin just as does the specialized muscle comprising the diaphragm. Desoxycorticosterone reduces the amount of glycogen formed by incubation with glucose alone as in the case of diaphragm muscle. Skeletal muscle offers new material for further investigation of the action of insulin.
