Excerpt from The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1916, Vol. 24 In the following tables Column 2 contains the percentage of plasma, Column 3 the percentage Of blood cells, and Column 4 the relative blood volume calculated from the figures in Column 3. In view of the changes which take place in the blood volume after pancreatectomy, the percentage of sugar found at each de termination must therefore be proportionally magnified or de creased, ii we are to obtain a correct idea of the actual rate of increase in the sugar content. Column 6 therefore represents the percentage of sugar which would have been found had the blood volume remained as it was before the experiment. This gives us a new and surprising insight into the actual increase in the amount of sugar in the circulating blood.
