Abstract
Insulin was subcutaneously given to the rabbits, long surviving double suprarenalectomy, as 21 to 162 days, and the controls, in such dosage as to cause invariably convulsive attacks in the operated ones. The control experiment was ran simultaneously with that on the operated on.
While the convulsive attacks became manifest in nearly all the operated on, they failed to occur in some of the controls, a mere repetition of a well known fact.
Hypoglycaemia took place and in fact it developed usually much more rapidly in the operated ones than in the controls, but there was no material difference in the minimum percentage of the blood sugar achieved in both series of animals, decapsulated and non-operated.
