Abstract

Discontinuous and continuous methods for the automatic enzymic determination of blood galactose are described, with examples of the application of the continuous method to galactose tolerance tests in cases of hepatic disease. The continuous method is superior in that it provides a valid measure of the rate of removal of galactose from the blood, but it also reveals, in some cases, oscillations in the rate of fall of the blood galactose concentration. These appear to reflect interactions between the blood and liver galactose compartments.
