Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 4). Values represent the glucose concentration (µmol) in dialysate. Mean values marked with an asterisk (*) were significantly different from those of respective control groups (P < 0.05) (derived from repeated measures ANOVA and adjusted using Bonferroni correction).
