Plasma Lactate Levels Increase during Hyperinsulinemic Euglycemic Clamp and Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Figure 4

Plasma lactate values from OGTT according to -value. OGTT was based on 75 g oral glucose tolerance tested over 120 min. -values represent the insulin resistance index at time 120 min of HIEC. Plasma lactate was measured as shown in Study Subjects. (a) showed a progressive increase in lactate during OGTT among patients with -value ≤ 4. The difference is not statistically different but did show a trend. (b) showed the mean total lactate among subjects with -value greater or less than 4. Participants having -values above 4 had significantly lower lactate levels ().
