An assay of insulin using adrenalectomized diabetic mice has been applied to the study of the insulin-like activity of plasma extracts.
It has been found that the insulin activity increases in normal subjects in response to the ingestion of carbohydrate, and that two groups of diabetics exist, those without and those with circulating insulin in plasma.
The significance of these findings in the aetiology of diabetes mellitus is discussed.
The limitations of the technique in the study of diabetes are emphasized.
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.
