Appreciable insulin occurred in transplants of a hamster and a mouse adrenal tumour. The hormone was measured by immunoassay. In hamster experiments, the weight of tumours grown in animals made mildly diabetic was five times less than those grown in controls. No insulin nor diabetic effect occurred in transplants of a mouse brain or stomach tumour.
