there would be demand for more
food, especially sugars and starches
since they would be utilized more
quickly. Injection of massive doses
Of pure insulin into healthy animals
failed to produce any results. The
difficulty seems to have been that
there is physiological limit to the
amount of insulin the body is able to
use at any one time An overdose was
largely pure waste which was ex-
creted.
The protamine insulin is retained
and fed out more slowly, so that there
is superabundance Of the hormone
persisting for some time. This makes
Its effect appear more powerful. Once

mentally, the direction OF research
now may be turned to offsetting ef-

the basic cause. Starving the fat
person may be an attack from the
wrong end. One difficulty is that the
body begins to eat up its own fat with
a resulting curious kind of acidosis.
incidentally, the California doctors
found that female rats became much
fatter than male rats under their
treatment. Natural fatness in the hu-
man race has been more of a problem
with women than men.
The doctors stressed that their work
can be considered only as a pioneer
step. 1t is not a necessarily valid
assumption the human system works
in the same way as the rat system,
although this has been true with most
other hormone reactions. Having
fattened their rats, they stressed, it
is much more complex problem to
find out how to unfatten them with
out depriving them OF food.
