Occurrence of 1 : 2 Dienol Glucose in Normal Blood : its Reaction with Alloxan and Chromatographic Identification

Nature volume 178, pages 1233–1234 (1956)Cite this article

Abstract

IN 1922 when Winter and Smith1 published results indicating for the first time that glucose in the blood of normal animals and men occurs in a form which is different from the ordinary α- and β-glucose. Lungsgaard and Holboll2, from their polarimetric studies of blood, also concluded that a new form of glucose always occurs in the blood of normal human beings, but they could not say anything about its chemical nature or physiological significance.
