Fig. 164. Rate of glucose disposal in relation to time. Infusions continued during 

 6 hours at rates that are indicated by the dotted lines and by the numerals, in gm./kg. 

 hr. Rates are inferred from changes of blood sugar concentrations during periods of 

 ■J to 2 hours, each rate being indicated at the middle of the period. Same data of

 loads the rate of loss is nearly proportional to load. 



In excesses, three paths of disposal are measured: amounts 

 excreted, amounts oxidized, and amounts disappearing but not ex-
