Evidence is offered that mild insulin hypoglycemia in dogs can be completely abolished by small doses of the oxytocic hormone of the posterior lobe of the pituitary; corresponding doses of the pressor fraction have little or no effect. Larger doses of the oxytocic hormone not only abolish the insulin effect but cause a rise in the blood sugar level above normal.
