In 140 patients with lung cancer the rate of sugar utilization by antebrachial tissues was determined by the method of arteriovenous difference, in 20 of them the pancreatic functional activity was investigated, using the double sugar stress. In most patients (70%) an impaired peripheral tissue metabolism was observed, that was manifested in a marked reduction of the arterio-venous difference in sugar in some patients and its release by tissues into blood in others. In the latter a reduced activity of the pancreatic insular apparatus was noted. |
