Abstract
1.1. The several stadia of sex development and activity seemingly influence the capacity of female to assimilate and utilize galactose.2.2. Lowering of ovarian function, from whatever cause, produces a like change in the galactose tolerance.3.3. Criteria are established for the normal galactose tolerance of the female during the several stadia of existence.4.4. The mammary glands play a most important rôle in the determination of the assimilation limit, but one apparently secondary to hormonic agencies which seemingly are the primary regulators.5.5. From changes in sugar tolerance, it may be inferred that pregnancy produces a physiologic hypo-ovarianism which persists for some time after parturition but ultimately disappears.
