Abstract
The effects of a standardized breakfast on blood glucose, plasma free fatty acid and .alpha.-amino N levels, plasma, insulin, glucagon and cortisol concentrations and serum growth hormone circulating levels are described in a group of 6 healthy, young, male volunteers. The clinician should use this breakfast tolerance test [B.T.T.] as a simple means to reconsider on physiological grounds some widely accepted pathophysiological concepts derived from highly unphysiological procedures such as the oral glucose tolerance test [O.G.T.T.].
