Figure 5. Endogenous glucose production during EIC study.

Figure 5

During euglycemic insulin clamp study (phase II), rabbits received constant insulin infusion supplemented with various doses of 25% dextrose. Using the steady-state isotope tracer dilution approach, endogenous glucose production (i.e. gluconeogenesis) in the fasting state was determined. The levels of endogenous glucose production in burn injured rabbits remained significantly elevated compared with the sham treated control group. Each value is the mean ± SEM for six animals. *P < 0.05.
