Oral Glutamine Is Superior Than Oral Glucose to Promote Glycemia Recovery in Mice Submitted to Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia

Figure 1

Demonstrative experiments ( ) of glucose production from increasing concentrations of lactate in perfused liver of fasted mice that received intraperitoneal injection of insulin (IIH group, ) or saline (NORMO group, ). The effluent fluid was collected at 5 min intervals and analyzed for glucose. The areas under curve (the increment of glucose production between 10 and 110 min) of NORMO and IIH group were and , respectively.
