Blood adenosine triphosphate was determined for 35 individuals at various times after they had ingested glucose. They were divided into four groups, categorized according to the "glucose tolerance sum" principle as normal, equivocal, or abnormal. Patients showing glucose intolerance also had supranormal concentrations of ATP as compared to the fasting level. Data are presented which suggest that the increase in ATP is a regulatory mechanism for insulin secretion.
