Abstract

The effect of insulin on the removal of plasma triglycerides was tested in hepatectomized geese. In this preparation plasma triglyceride concentration decreases exponentially following hepatectomy. Infusion of insulin (0.001 U/kg/min. for 60 minutes) had no significant effect on the rate of disappearance of plasma triglycerides in the hepatectomized animals. The conclusion is, therefore, reached that insulin does not affect the removal of plasma triglycerides by the extrahepatic tissues in the goose.
