STUDIES OF THE ROLE OF THE LIVER IN HUMAN CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM BY THE VENOUS CATHETER TECHNIC. II. PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC KETOSIS, BEFORE AND AFTER THE ADMINISTRATION OF INSULIN.

The recent development of methods for the estimation of the blood flow and metabolism of the liver in man has made it possible to investigate the role of this organ in the normal and deranged metabolic processes of the human being. Previous studies have been concerned with the role of the liver in the carbohydrate metabolism of the normal human being (1). Similar investigations of patients with decompensated diabetic ketosis are reported in the present paper.
