Abstract
INSULIN causes an increased uptake of glucose by the rat diaphragm in vitro 1. The present communication reports the results of some experiments designed to study the influence of physiologically important cations on the uptake of glucose by the diaphragm of the rat in the presence and absence of insulin. Incidentally, the effects of the other related monovalent metallic ions and of changes in gas phase were also studied.
