The effects of the prostatic extracts of 10% saline, 1% polysaccharide and 1% polypeptide on carbohydrate metabolism in rabbits were reported and the results were as followed.
1. The slight increase of the blood dextrose levels could be found with the administration of these extracts respectively.
2. The glucose tolerance curves in normal male rabbits showed no definite results by using 50% glucose, but each curve in each animal showed the definite result within 10mg/dl differences. By the continuous administration of 1% polypeptide extract for 10 days, the results of the glucose tolerance test showed a slight decrease and the tolerance curve showed slight extension comparing with normal curve.
