LYMPH SUGAR

Abstract
A set of conditions which must be observed to establish a true basis for a comparison of the blood and lymph sugar levels has been formulated. When these conditions are satisfied, the sugar contents of lymph and plasma were found to be nearly the same. The glucose tolerance curves for simultaneously collected lymph and plasma specimens were detd. The curves for lymph very closely resemble those of plasma. When sugar is administered either intravenously or by stomach tube, it enters the lymphatic system very readily, and it is removed from the lymph at approximately the same rate as from blood.
