Cerebrospinal fluid glucose and protein values in normal rabbits.
In 35 normal rabbits the cerebrospinal fluid glucose values ranged between 56 and 135 mg/dl, mean and standard deviation 78 +/- 13 mg/dl. Cerebrospinal total protein values ranged from 16 to 66 mg/dl, mean values were similar to those reported for human cerebrospinal fluid. Depression of the cerebrospinal glucose level in the rabbit may parallel the human situation and prove to be a useful marker of purulent inflammation.
