pH OF THE CEREBRAL CORTEX AND ARTERIAL BLOOD UNDER INSULIN

Abstract
1-1 1/2 hr. after intraven. inj. of insulin into the curarized animal under constant artificial respiration fluctuations of pH of the cortex appear. These fluctuations occur without corresponding fluctuations of pH of the arterial blood. Intraven. inj. of buffered dextrose soln. lowers the pH of both arterial blood and cortex, and stops the recurrent fluctuations of pH of the cortex.
