| Abstract: | Abstract— Slices from the cerebral cortices of normal and alloxan-diabetic rats were incubated with [U-24C]glucose. When insulin was added to the incubation medium the incorporation of 14C into glycogen was significantly increased in both groups. Insulin did not appear to have any significant effect on the incorporation of 14C into carbon dioxide. |
