The distribution of reducing substances between plasma and corpuscles; a comparison of various blood-sugar methods

Abstract

THE distribution of "sugar" between plasma and corpuscles has been the subject of much discussion, and the results obtained by different workers have shown wide variation. We shall not attempt to survey the literature here; a summary is given in a paper by Wiechmann [1924]. In view of the work of de De Wesselow compared MacLean's method with the Lewis-Benedict method, and found that whereas the discrepancies between the methods on plasma were small, MacLean's method always gave considerably lower figures on corpuscles.
