1. In fasted adrenalectomized female rats a rise in blood sugar may be a more sensitive index of cortisone activity than a rise in liver glycogen.
2. There was a threshold level of blood sugar below which the liver was almost empty of glycogen. Above this threshold the concentration of liver glycogen rose almost logarithmically with a rise in blood sugar.
3. The shape of this blood sugar—liver glycogen relationship is discussed in relation to the bio-assay of corticosteroids and their effect on carbohydrate metabolism.
4. The concentration of glucose in the red cell of the rat is much less than that in the plasma.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
