The mechanism of insulin action

Communication V. Effect of insulin on blood glucose content in dogs during electrosleep

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Variations in the concentration of blood glucose are not above or below the level of the physiological changes during electrosleep induced by weak rhythmical electric impulses. Electrosleep has no effect on the hypoglycemic action of insulin. However, when massive doses of insulin are introduced the characteristic symptoms of hyperinsulinlsm do not appear. A new design for a more stable apparatus for inducing electrosleep is presented.
