Abstract
Since its inception in 1898 the American Journal of Physiology has bee n a leader in diabetes research and has published many key articles on the subject. The Journal first published studies of phlorhizin-induce d diabetes in 1898, and after many other contributions went on to publ ish the first reports of Banting, Best, Macleod, and Collip in 1922 co ncerning the isolation and purification of insulin (5-8, 13). This rev iew highlights some of these key contributions of the Journal.
