Antagonism of insulin and extracts from the posterior lobe of the epididymis Mochlig and Ainslee (Journ. Ot Am. Med. Ass., 1925, May 9) found on the basis of their experiments that the introduction of an extract from the posterior lobe of the epididymis causes weak glycemia in rabbits ; when administered together with insulin, it delays the latter-induced drop in blood sugar; finally. with insulin hypoglycemic convulsions, its introduction causes, together with an increase in blood sugar, a rapid disappearance of convulsions.
