title: Intravenous glucose tolerance test in Macaca radiata radiata.
abstract: A reliable method for performing sensitive intravenous glucose tolerance tests in monkeys has been standardized. This helps in assessment of beta cell function. A normal curve for glucose disposal is constructed. A high variability in insulin levels is also documented.
