Abstract




1. The effect of insuline (10-1 I.U.) on thé glucose-uptake «in vitro» by the spinal medulla of the anesthetized (CO2/O2at 50 %) and unanesthetized rat is studied.


2. The basal glucose-uptake of the spinal medulla is practically the same in both the anesthetized and unanesthe­ tized rat.


3. The spinal medulla of the unanesthetized rat is not sensible to the action of insuline, while the medulla of the anesthetized rat is so (P<0.01).
