糖尿病の温泉治療に関する研究　III. 湯村温泉，武蔵温泉の飲用と食餌性過血糖

The author investigated the effect of the internal use of thermal water of Yumura (weak alkaline spring, Hyogo Prefecture) and Musashi (weak common salt spring, Fukuoka Prefecture) Springs upon the alimentary hyperglycemia in rabbits. Sixty ml. of spring water, and of plain water as control, with 10% glucose in solution was administered to rabbits by stomach tube, and the blood sugar level was determined before and 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 hours after the administration. In all cases, the thermal water was revealed to inhibit the alimentary hyperglycemia significantly by comparing the results obtained with the thermal water and those with the plain water control.
