METABOLISM IN SEVERE DIABETES. 



Calorimeter Experiment No. Q3. 



Date, November 22, 1910. Body-weight without clothing, 51.8 kilos. 



This experiment also followed the ingestion of oatmeal, the subject eating 

 a breakfast consisting of approximately 70 gms. of oatmeal (weight uncooked) , 

 15 gms. butter, and 60 gms. cream. The subject reached the laboratory at 

 7 h 35 m a. m., entered the bed calorimeter at 7 h 46 m a. m., and the experiment 

 began at 8 h 26 m a. m., continuing for three 45-minute periods and ending at 

 10 h 45 m a. m. The subject was very quiet during the first two periods, and 

 was probably asleep during the second period. At the beginning of the third 

 period he began reading and continued to read until shortly before the close 

 of the experiment. The subject urinated both before and after the experi- 

 ment, at 7 h 20 m a. m. and ll h 05 m a. m. respectively. The records are given 

 in tables 61 and 63.

'Subject ate for breakfast at about 7 (?) a.m. approximately 70 gms. oatmeal (weight uncooked), 15 gms. 



butter, and 60 gms. cream. 

 2 Carbon dioxide eliminated per kilogram per minute, 3.46 c.c: oxygen absorbed per kilogram per minute, 4.44 c.c. 



Calorimeter Experiment No. Q4. 



Date, November 23, 1910. Body-weight without clothing, 52.0 kilos. 



On the morning of the experiment the subject came to the laboratory with- 

 out breakfast at 7 h 35 m a. m., and entered the bed calorimeter at 7 h 42 m a. m. 

 The experiment began at 8 h 35 m a. m., and continued for three 45-minute 

 periods, ending at 10 h 50 m a. m. Throughout the experiment the subject was 

 very quiet, not even reading. He urinated both before and after the experi- 

 ment, at 7 h 25 m a. m. and 1 1 h 03 m a. m., respectively. The records of the experi- 

 ment are given in tables 62 and 63.

1 One record at 9 h 18 a.m. 



2 Carbon dioxide eliminated per kilogram per minute, 3.29 c.c; oxygen absorbed per kilogram per minute, 4.23 c.c.
