Foot-and-mouth disease in man.

Abstract

Whether the changes of the Achilles tendon reflexogram in thyroid disorders and in diabetes mellitus are related to the adrenaline system requires further investigation. SUMMARYIn five normal subjects the Achilles tendon reflex time was prolonged by intravenous glucose and shortened by intravenous insulin administration.The effect of insulin was abolished when it was given after the application of propranolol.
