INGESTION OF CARBOHYDRATES.

noting the total increment in the heat production. This increment is 

 secured by measuring the total heat produced during the whole experi- 

 ment and computing from the basal heat production the increment 

 actually obtained in this period. The values found in the calorimeter 

 experiments for the total increment in heat production after the 

 ingestion of carbohydrate are given in table 124; in the last column of 

 this table are also recorded the percentages of the total increments in 

 terms of the basal value. The values for the basal heat production 

 are included for purposes of comparison.

'The time given represents the experimental period. The food was usually taken leas than 

 half an hour before the beginning of the experiment. See tables 101 to 122 for details.
