Abstract
Insulin was injected subcutaneously in a dose of 0.5 unit per kilo of body weight into rabbits, normal, bilaterally suprarenalectomized, demedullated and splanchnicotomized as well.
While normal rabbits showed almost no convulsive attacks, these occurred in half of each set in other kinds of animals. The intensity of hypoglycaemia was not only on an average undoubtedly, though not excessively, larger in the operated ones compared with the normal control, but also a similar tendency was noticeable when the cases without convulsions only are compared. The bottom of the hypoglycaemia stage was reached definitely earlier in the operated ones than in the control.
