## Abstract The sodium dependence of the highβaffinity transport of glutamic acid in rat brain synaptosomes has been studied in animals maintained on a diet deficient in essential fatty acids (EFAD), and the results compared to similar studies with animals on a normal diet. Although the data give b

Glucose tolerance and insulin secretion were studied in non-diabetic littermates (n = 154) of BB diabetic rats, aged 4-6 months. Initial screening involved two intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests (0.2 g/100 g body weight) performed one week apart. Nineteen rats (12%) were found to have impaired
