Abstract
Summary
The effect of D-Glucose, D-Galactose, D-Fructose, L-Rhamnose, L-Sorbose, D-Sorbitol, D-Arabinose, L-Arabinose, and D-Xylose on the serum inorganic phosphate in the normal dog has been studied. D-Glucose, L-Sorbose and D-Sorbitol produced a definite decrease, and D-Arabinose a clear cut rise. By statistical comparison with the variation encountered by taking successive blood samples with the same intervals and under the same experimental conditions, it seems that D-Galactose, L-Rhamnose and D-Xylose have some decreasing power. D-Fructose (pyranose) produced an increase at 45′. D-Arabinose showed inhibitory action on the decreasing effect of glucose and insulin. L-Arabinose exhibits some inhibitory action on the effect of glucose and at 15′ after glucose + insulin.
