Blood glucose and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) were measured during oral glucose tolerance test in 15 thyrotoxic patients and 8 normal controls, to study the glucose metabolism in thyrotoxicosis. Following were the results; 1. In thyrotoxicosis, there is noticed late rise and late fall of plasma IRI durnig oral glucose tolerance test, like as phenomenon of mild diabetes mellitus. 2. When the thyrotoxic patients were divided into normal and abnormal responsive groups after the level of blood glucose by Wilkerson Criteria, no significant differences in plasma IRI levels were noticed between two groups. 3. This result may be interpreted as relative deficiency of insulin secretion from panceas and suggest genetically related defects.
