Abstract
Summary
Normal male rats were force-fed a medium carbohydrate diet. Steroid diabetes was induced by the administration of cortisone acetate in doses of 2, 5, 10, and 20 mg/rat/day for 7 days. The level of liver glycogen reached very high values in both fed and fasted animals. The glycogen level was proportional to the dose of cortisone acetate and was correlated with the level of urinary glucose.
