Abstract
The activity of 97 rats during a 10-day period in which 2 cc. of a 5% solution of Na2HPO4 was added to their regular diet of bread and milk was compared with activity during 2 normal 5-day periods on the same animals. In general, activity during the phosphate period was 20-30% higher than normal. Blood sugars were done on 62 rats which had been in the activity experiment, and the results were correlated with activity during the last 5 days of the animals'' lives. The correlation between blood sugar and activity was low and negative, [long dash]0.20. Animals having high sugar content (112 mgm.) averaged 3500 revolutions a day in the activity drums, whereas animals of low sugar content (82 mgm.) averaged 5700 revolutions.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
