MEASUREMENT OF SMALL QUANTITIES OF INSULIN-LIKE ACTIVITY USING RAT ADIPOSE TISSUE. II. EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE*

摘要: In the preceding paper (1), a biological assay method was proposed which utilized increased production of CO2 from glucose in response to minute quantities insulin by epididymal adipose tissue rats. Since quality an is best revealed its performance over period time, present report will results obtained during 25 months when this procedure applied solutions and tested on more complex material such as human blood serum. The quantitative evaluation data carried out large extent independently actual assays, although consultations between statistical teams occurred at irregular intervals few months.
