Abstract
The effect of hypoglycemia on the motor and secretory functions of the digestive tract is a subject of both physiological and clinical importance. Existing evidence indicates that in dog and man hypoglycemia augments those functions which are under the influence of the vagus nerves by stimulating vagal centers somewhere in the brain. Further investigation is required to establish the full scope of the hypoglycemic effect and to clarify the mechanisms concerned. Some of the necessary observations have been suggested.
