Insulin and the Assimilation of Fructose.

Abstract
Summary.: In experiments with artificially perfused hind‐leg preparations it is shown that insulin has no effect on the assimilation of fructose in the muscular tissue, whereas the assimilation of glucose is promoted to a considerable extent.Even in experiments in which the glucose concentration in the blood is artificially reduced to the lowest possible values, insulin has no effect on the fructose assimilation.The assimilations of glucose and fructose seem to proceed quite independently of each other.
