[Sucrosuria following an oral sucrose load (author's transl)]

44 male and 103 female subjects were given an oral load of 1 g or 2 sucrose/kg body weight. Glucose, fructose and sucrose were determined in capillary blood and urine samples before and after sucrose ingestion. Sucrose was detected in the blood only in 10 cases, but was present in the urine in each subject (max. 1132 mg sucrose/100 ml). Urinary excretion of sucrose is considered to be a physiological phenomenon since none of the subjects had any metabolic disorder.
