Summary

Hypoglycaemia in the rabbit due to an intravenous injection of insulin results in an important diminution of the value of theb wave in the ERG (up till 80%). Nevertheless, this phenomenon does not follow directly upon the lowering of the blood glucose level but takes place, on the average, about 2 h later. This fact is explained by the enormous energy reserves of the retina, the lowering of the ERG taking place only when these reserves are exhausted.
