Abstract
IT is well known that characteristic alterations of the blood sugar occur during the alarm reaction1. We thought it interesting to make a closer examination of the carbohydrate metabolism in the course of the alarm reaction. We have investigated the blood glycolysis; this seems particularly suitable for the purpose, because the erythrocytes have in vitro a very low consumption of oxygen2, while they display active processes of anaerobic glycolysis like those that occur in muscular tissue3.
