Abstract
The utilization of alc. by dogs was gauged by detg. the rate of removal from the blood stream. This rate of alcohol utilization was depressed by fasting. No significant impairment was observed in the acutely depan-creatized dog, thus indicating that insulin was apparently not essential. The unanesthetized eviscerated rabbit did not utilize alcohol irrespective of whether large amts. of glucose or insulin were administered, indicating that the muscles did not utilize alcohol. A quantitative relationship was demonstrated between the % of intact liver in the rabbit, and its ability to utilize ethyl alcohol. Chloroform anesthesia depressed the rate at which alcohol was removed from the blood.
