Carbohydrate feeding or injection produces often a temporary increase in the rate at which bilirubin is put forth in the bile, but none in the amount of the pigment secreted from day to day. There would appear to be no ground for the supposition that bilirubin is normally derived in part from the carbohydrates of the food.
