Abstract
RESULTS of experiments previously reported from this Institute in 1944 1 indicated that when extracts of the anterior pituitary gland were administered to rats, insulin did not exhibit its usual action in promoting glycogen deposition in muscle as studied on the rat‘s diaphragm according to the technique of Gemmill2. In 1945 Cori et al.3 reported the results of experiments on the effect of anterior pituitary extract and of insulin on hexokinase activity in tissue extracts obtained from rats.
