63. ARTERIO- VENOUS GLUCOSE DIFFERENCES AS INFLUENCED BY ALIMENTARY HYPERGLYCEMIA: MAN 



Non-glucose reducing substances are reported as glucose with the exception of Lines 7-12 where the analytical 

 method employed excludes non-glucose reducing substances. The values presented in Lines 7-12 are, therefore, 

 accurate reflections of true blood glucose and A-V differences. 



/!/ After ingestion. /2/ Glycosuric subjects, but without clinical signs or symptoms of diabetes; method not stated. 

 in Modification of method of Benedict (1925). /4/ Copper iodometric analysis of zinc sulfate-barium hydroxide 

 precipitates of whole blood; anticoagulant = potassium oxalate- sodium fluoride; accuracy = 1 mg/100 ml. Normal 

 subjects. Rated abnormal and therefore excluded: subjects with arterial peaks exceeding 190 mg/100 ml. with 

 venous peaks exceeding 150 mg/ml. and in whom use continued into second hr. /5/ Finger-tip blood, demonstrated 

 to be arterial with respect to glucose content. /6/ Method of Folin and Wu (1920). Since "time" coordinates of 

 original data did not correspond, in all cases, to those employed in this table, data of individual experiments were 

 plotted and curves drawn. Values for desired times after sugar ingestion were taken from the plotted curves; 

 tabulated data are means and ranges of these values.
