Diabetic Rabbits

Fructose, galactose and glucose were fed to normal and alloxan-diabetic rabbits. Some of the animals received an intravenous injection of dihydroergotamine prior to the feeding of fructose. The levels of these sugars and true glucose were estimated in samples of blood collected for varying periods after the administration of these sugars. These sugars were also determined in the urine of the animals. Fructose and galactose were removed from the blood very rapidly in both the normal and diabetic rabbits and insignificant amounts of these sugars appeared in the urine. There was a considerable increase in the true blood glucose level and increased amount of glucose appeared in the urine of diabetic rabbits after fructose or galactose was fed. Dihydroergotamine partly suppressed this hyperglycemia after the administration of fructose. Alloxan-diabetic rabbits in spite of their normal ability to initiate the metabolism of fructose and galactose, either transform a considerable amount of these sugars into glucose or spare the utilization of blood glucose. Superiority of these sugars as alternate source of energy is questioned.

The utilization of glucose, fructose and galactose was studied in scorbutic and paired fed normal guinea pigs by performing tolerance tests with these sugars and by determining the glycogen contents of the liver and skeletal muscle of these animals. After feeding glucose the blood glucose of scorbutic guinea pigs attained a markedly higher peak and showed a delayed fall compared with that of normal guinea pigs. Ingestion of fructose was accompanied by an appreciable rise in the true blood glucose of scorbutic and normal guinea pigs. Administration of galactose did not elicit any such elevation of blood glucose. The amounts of fructose and galactose found in the blood of scorbutic guinea pigs at different intervals after administration of the respective hexoses were essentially the same as in normal guinea pigs. Ascorbic acid deficiency did not seem to disturb the utilization of fructose and galactose by guinea pigs. The glycogen contents of the liver and muscle of scorbutic guinea pigs were reduced markedly and did not differ significantly following ingestion of glucose, fructose or galactose. The disturbed carbohydrate metabolism in scurvy is attributed partly to diminished formation of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose.
