Human physiology . 17 cases of phosphoruspoisoning Frerichs found no trace of sugar in the urine; afteradministration of 100-200 grms. glucose he only saw it appear inminute amounts in two cases.

All the evidence makes it probable that the hyperglycaemia INTEENAL EESTITUTIVE SECEETIONS 315 and glycosuria which represent the main symptoms of diabetesdepend on a lowered glycolysis, on the fact that the diabeticorganism does not possess the normal capacity for splitting up thesugar as it is formed. This capacity is not entirely lost, but it ismuch diminished. Kiilz, indeed, noted that in severe cases ofdiabetes the amount of sugar in the urine is always lower thanthe total of carbohydrates ingested, and absorbed from the intestinein the form of sugar. Another very important observation of Kiilz is that diabeticsare capable of breaking up laevulose or fruit sugar, which turns A.
