The possibility that endogenous oestrogen and progesterone affect carbohydrate tolerance in the female dog was investigated by relating the results of repeated intravenous glucose tolerance tests to the phases of the oestrous cycle, namely anoestrus, pro‐oestrus, oestrus and dioestrus. Neither the glucose tolerances nor the insulin responses were significantly different between these phases of the oestrous cycle in 12 Dalmatian bitches.
