Abstract
A new method, descr., for the estimation of fructose in blood, is based on the reaction between bile salts and fructose, which is so delicate that fructose contents of the order of 5-20 mgm. per ml. can be estimated with an error of ca. [plus or minus]1 mgm. Using the method, comparisons have been made between venous and capillary blood and also between normal and diabetic blood following the ingestion of fructose. Preliminary results also show that a more satisfactory fructose tolerance test for liver function can be made on the basis of specific fructose estimations than by taking account of the total blood sugar values.
