Hyperglycemia Increases Susceptibility to Ischemic Necrosis

Table 1

Skin blood perfusion (PU) before (baseline) and after resection of the arteries or sham surgery (days 1 and 7), in euglycemic and hyperglycemic animals.

	Euglycemic animals		Hyperglycemic animals
	Sham surgery	Resection	Sham surgery	Resection
Baseline	6.1 ± 0.4	5.8 ± 0.4	5.8 ± 0.3	6.5 ± 0.6
Day 1	6.0 ± 0.8	3.3 ± 0.1*	5.0 ± 0.5	3.4 ± 0.2*
Day 7	6.3 ± 0.6	3.6 ± 0.2*	6.8 ± 0.6	3.5 ± 0.3

(𝑛=7/group, except at day 7: 𝑛=5 euglycemic and 2 hyperglycemic animals). ^*𝑃<0.05 versus sham surgery.
