Abstract
Yakriton, the detoxicating hormone of the liver, which will act to reduce abnormally high figures of blood sugar of animals made hyperglycemic, does not reduce normal figures of blood sugar in the slightest degree, thus acting quite differently from insulin, the pancreatic hormone. In short, yakriton keeps the normal blood sugar content, just as it does (according to Sakurada)9) the normal urea and ammonia content of the blood, while it prevents the blood from an abnormally high content of urca or ammonia.
