Zusammenfassung:RECENT reports have stressed the advantages of using highly specific ‘glucose oxidase’ methods for the clinical determinations of blood sugars 1–3 . Traditional methods, such as those of Folin and Wu, measure the total reducing capacity of the blood, and include the so-called saccharoid fraction as well as the true glucose-level. The exact nature of this fraction, and its significance in pathological conditions, is not yet fully understood.
