Abstract
In the albino rat the preceding diet, as varied by being composed chiefly of protein, carbohydrate, or fat, was without significant effect, after 24 and 48 hours of starvation, upon the rate of absorption of administered glucose from the intestine or the rate of glycogen deposition in the liver or skeletal muscle. It is therefore concluded that the variations in the blood glucose tolerance curve produced by the preceding diet are due in large part, if not entirely, to changes in the rate of glucose uptake by tissues other than the liver probably produced by variations in the rate of glucose oxidation.
