Effect of glucose priming on insulin response in the premature infant
S Grasso, G Distefano, A Messina, R Vigo and G Reitano
Our paper deals with premature infants in the first twenty-four hours of life and reports the effect of a preinfusion of glucose on glucose administration. Glucose infusion (2.5 gm.) resulted in a slight elevation of serum insulin. When this administration of glucose was preceded by a two-hour infusion of glucose, there was a striking increase in serum insulin. This article has been cited by other articles:
