Abstract
Summary Addition of oxytetracycline to intravenous fluid used to maintain pancrea-tectomized dogs brings about a state of hypo-glycemia with staggering and convulsions that only infrequently responds to administration of glucose. The liver glycogen of these dogs is usually normal and occasionally elevated. During the state of hypoglycemia with staggering and convulsions the rise of the blood glucose following intravenous injection of adrenalin or glucose (glucose tolerance test) is transient; the rise of the blood glucose following intravenous injection of glucagon is large and sustained.
