Effects of Mixed Foods on the Blood Levels of Glucose, Amino Acids and Chylomicrons

Abstract
Experiments on unanesthetized normal fasting male and female mongrel dogs were carried out. Glucose, gelatin and cream were fed either singly or in combination. Blood sugars and blood amino acid N and chylomicrons were determined before the feeding and for a period of time following the feeding. When glucose was fed together with gelatin, with cream, or with both, the blood glucose curve was depressed, as compared to the curve obtained when glucose was fed alone. When gelatin was fed together with glucose, with cream, or with both, depression of the blood amino acid curve was observed, as compared to the curve when gelatin was fed alone. The plasma chylomicron curve did not appear to be affected when fat was fed with gelatin, with glucose, or with both, as compared to chylomicron curves when fat was fed alone.
