DiabeticDogs: Lactic Acid Turnover in Dogs
In tessington/qsci381: Data used in QSCI 381, University of Washington

The rate of lactic acid turnover was measured by two methods for normal and diabetic dogs.

A data frame with 20 observations on the following 4 variables.

Dog: Code for individual dogs (d1 through d10)
Method: Tracer method to measure response (infuse or inject)
Operation: Pancreas removed to make the dog diabetic? (no or yes)
Response: Rate for biochemical turnover of lactic acid

Five dogs had their pancreas removed to make them diabetic (Operation=yes), the other five were normal (Operation=no). The rate of turnover of lactic acid was measured for each dog by two methods, infusion and injection.
