The Journal of biological chemistry . venous appetite. A Survey of a Variety of Higher Plants for the New Hormone. Following the successful results obtained with onion extracts,various other plant tissues were tested out, and a most interest-ing series of positive results have been obtained. The work isas yet only in the early stages, but sufficient results have been ob-tained to give substantial support to the theory above propoundedand to show, that, in all probability sugar metabolism to a degreeat least is fundamentally the same in both the plant and theanimal kingdom.

Results with Extracts of Lettuce. The effect of extracts made from green lettuce leaves upon theblood sugar of normal rabbits is indicated in Chart IX. Curve 1 524 Glucokinin in this chart shows very definitely that a hypoglycemia-produc-ing substance was present in the extract used. Slight but definiteeffects were also obtained by the administration of lettuce extractsto the depancreatized dog as indicated in Protocol 1, depancrea-tized Dog 1. Chart EX. 32 40 Time Chart IX.
