[Effect of dodeconium on carbohydrate metabolism]

It is shown in experiments on albino rats that dodeconium in therapeutic doses stimulates the glycolytic processes and inhibits the aerobic oxidation of glucose in the pentose phosphate cycle as well as the final stages of gluconeogenesis. Such an action of dodeconim leads to hypoglycemia and normalizes many indices of carbohydrate metabolism in alloxane diabetes.
