title: [Effect of insulin on carbohydrate metabolism in the catfish (Ictalurus melas). I) In vivo experiments].
abstract: The effects of bovine insulin on blood glucose, liver and muscle glycogen were studied in catfish (Ictalurus melas). 60U/k body weight of bovine insulin injected intraperitoneally, produced a significant lowering of blood glucose and liver glycogen, more evident 48 h after injection. An increase after hormone injection was also observed into white muscle glycogen.
