Abstract
The hyperglycemia concurrent with obesity in mice has been found
to be resistant to the administration of insulin. By using five different
strains of mice, including a strain with induced obesity by means
of goldthioglucose, comparison was made of the effects of insulin. A
state of hypoglycemia was found to be readily induced in the lean
control mice but the obese mice did not acquire this state and were
found to be quite insulin resistant.
