Abstract
From these experiments on 45 diabetes mellitus patients and allo-xandiabetic rabbits it can be concluded as follows:
1. As for the blood glycogen content of Type I of diabetes mellitus according to the classification of our Clinic, 25% of them revealed higher values of over 75 mg. %, but 32.1% of Type II showed higher values than the normal value and 7.9% of the latter lower values. Especially the blood glycogen content of Type II tends increase when its compli-cations occur.
2. As the condition of Type II shows good turns for recovery by means of insulin injection, the blood glycogen content seems to become normal at the same time that the blood sugar normalizes. In these cases insulin works in general to decrease the blood glycogen content in company with the diminution of the blood sugar.
3. In the first stage of the alloxandiabetes the blood glycogen content is almost unchanged and tends to increase when a secondary hyper-glycemia occurs, while it decreases occasionally before the death of an acute form.
