We measured the glucose diappearance rate(Kt) in 24 normal neonates and in 19 ill neonates by
intravenous glucose tolerance test.
The results were as follows:
1) The glucose disappearance rate of 2-day-old normal neonates was 1.59±0.8%/min.
2) The glucose disappearance rate of ill neonates who had negative culture studies was 2.08±l.
4%/min.
3) There was no significant difference in glucose disappearance rate between normal neonates and
ill neonates who had... |
