Abstract
Summary
In 10 experiments on human subjects comparative intravenous injections of 10% glucose and 10% fructose were carried out. Even at rapid rates of infusion very little fructose appeared in the urine as compared to the amount of glucose. Diuresis was also less pronounced with fructose. Moreover, the fructose infusions were not followed by either hyperglycemia nor by an excessive rise in the blood fructose level, thus indicating a more rapid utilization of fructose and presumably more rapid glycogenesis.
