Elements and Materials Katabolized in the Body. 



The elements katabolized in the body are given in table 127, page 183. In 

 table 128, page 184, the results obtained by computing the amounts of body 

 materials corresponding to these elements are shown. As in the majority of 

 other experiments without food, the loss of carbohydrates was greatest on the 

 first day, though much smaller than that usually observed for this particular 

 day. Contrary to the results of experiment No. 73, the loss in glycogen is 

 persistent, continuing through the whole 7 days of the experiment. 



Balance of water. Table 129, page 185, shows the usual data regarding 

 intake and outgo of water.
