Complex cytophotometric analysis of hormone-induced alterations in the glucose utilisation of Tetrahymena.
Insulin and adrenaline were both found to stimulate the glucose utilization of Tetrahymena, although somewhat differently. With exogenous sugar added, adrenaline always drops the glucose level in all regions of the unicellular, while the effect of insulin was less unequivocal.
