Abstract
14 hexose-derivatives and 7 triose-derivatives were tested for their ability to substitute for glucose in prolonging the lives of rabbits following removal of the liver. Although the intact animal can transform several such carbohydrates into glycogen or glucose, the hepatectomized animal is not benefited by many simple derivatives of glucose. The so-called carbohydrate intermediates serve no obvious purpose in the hepatectomized rabbit.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
