Figure 2.
Data from the fasting period following the morning infusion (before the clamp [Pre-clamp]; 330–360 min) and during a subsequent hyperinsulinemic-hyperglycemic clamp with intraportal glucose infusion (clamp period). Arterial blood glucose (A), hepatic glucose load (HGL; B), net hepatic glucose balance (NHGB; C), unidirectional (tracer-determined) HGU (D), glucose infusion rate (GIR; E), non-HGU (F), and net hepatic carbon retention (NHCR, in milligrams glucose equivalents per kilogram per minute) (G). From 0–240 min (data not shown), the groups (n = 6 dogs/group) received a duodenal infusion of saline (white circles) or glucose (black circles). *P < 0.05 between groups.
