— Slices from the cerebral cortices of normal and alloxan‐diabetic rats were incubated with [U‐ 24 C]glucose. When insulin was added to the incubation medium the incorporation of 14 C into glycogen was significantly increased in both groups. Insulin did not appear to have any significant effect on the incorporation of 14 C into carbon dioxide.
