5-Thio-D-glucose (200 and 500 mg/kg) produced hyperglycemia and significantly retarded emptying of the pregastric pouch of hamsters. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose did not affect stomach-emptying at either of the doses used (500 and 1000 mg/kg), but did cause hyperglycemia at the higher dose. These results are discussed in relation to the failure of these glucose analogs to produce hyperphagia in the golden hamster.
