Plasma glucose, glucagon, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), corticosterone (CORT), epinephrine (EPI), and norepinephrine (NE) measures taken at baseline (t.0 min) and at 30 min intervals throughout a 2-h bout of hypoglycemia. PBS (phosphate buffered saline) and LIDO (lidocaine) infusions were made into the THPVP. Values are represented as the mean±SEM.
