Riassunto
L'albumina estratta dal plasma di 20 su 21 diabetici indiani è risultata antagonista all'insulina, quando veniva saggiata alla concentrazione dell'1,25 %; a questa stessa concentrazione, l'albumina plasmatica di 5 su 29 (17,2 %) volontarî sani mostrava anch'essa un antagonismo all'insulina. I risultati di queste ricerche effettuate nell'India settentrionale non differiscono da quelli precedentemente riferiti per quanto riguarda l'emisfero occidentale.
Résumé
L'albumine extraite du plasma de 20 diabétiques indiens sur 21, essayée à la concentration de 1,25 %, s'est révélée antagoniste de l'insuline. Le même antagonisme a été relevé, à cette même concentration, pour l'albumine plasmatique de 5 sujets volontaires sains sur 29 (17,2 %). Les résultats de ces recherches, conduites dans l'Inde du nord, ne diffèrent pas de ceux qui ont été signalés auparavant dans l'émisphère occidental.
Resumen
La albúmina extraída del plasma de 20 de entre 21 diabéticos indios, ha resultado ser antagonista de la insulina al efectuar la comprobación a 1,2 % de concentración; a esa misma concentración la albúmina plasmática de 5 sobre 29 (17,2%) voluntarios sanos acusaba también un antagonismo a la insulina. Los resultados de estas investigaciones efectuadas en la India septentrional no se diferencian de los referidos precedentemente referentes al hemisfero occidental.
Zusammenfassung
Bei 20 von 21 indischen Diabetikern zeigte sich das aus dem Plasma extrahierte Albumin antagonistisch gegen Insulin wenn es in einer Konzentration von 1,25 % geprüft wurde. In der gleichen Konzentration erwies sich auch das Plasmaalbumin von 5 von 29 (17,2%) gesunden freiwilligen Versuchspersonen als Insulinantagonist. Die Ergebnisse dieser in Nordindien ausgeführten Untersuchungen unterscheiden sich nicht von denen, welche aus der westlichen Hemisphäre berichtet werden.
Summary
Albumin extracted from the plasma of 20 out of 21 Indian diabetic patients was antagonistic to insulin when tested at 1.25 %; the plasma albumina from 5 out of 29 (17.2 %) healthy volunteers also showed insulin antagonism when tested at this concentration. These studies in Northern India are not dissimilar from those previously reported from the Western hemisphere.
