      Abstract

      A greater quantity of reducing sugar appeared in the urine which was collected over a 24 hour period from patients receiving one liter infusions of 10 per cent invert sugar than from those receiving 10 per cent glucose. This was noted in patients who received oral feedings as well as in those from whom food was withheld. It would appear dubious that invert sugar or fructose is as well utilized by the human being as is glucose.
