Abstract
The rate of glycogenesis in the liver of the normal rat after intraperitoneal injection of glucose, fructose and invert sugar was determined. The sugar dosage was 2 g/kg body weight. Liver glycogen was determined by an anthrone method at approximately hourly intervals for 12 hours after injection. The rate of formation of glycogen in liver was highest after injection of fructose, lowest after glucose injection and intermediate between fructose and glucose after invert sugar. During the first 3 hours after injection the rate of glycogenesis was approximately twice as fast after fructose as after glucose.Keywords
