From: Does a reduced glucose intake prevent hyperglycemia in children early after cardiac surgery? a randomized controlled crossover study

Figure 2

Glucose kinetics in children receiving low or standard glucose intake after cardiac surgery. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation in mg/kg per minute in stacked bars (n = 9). Error bars are shown for components of rate of appearance of glucose only: glucose intake (GI), glycogenolysis (GLY), and gluconeogenesis (GNG). Comparison between glucose intakes was done by paired samples t test. Entire stacked bars represent rate of appearance of glucose, which consists of exogenous glucose intake and endogenous glucose production. The latter is composed of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis during standard glucose intake was not significantly different from zero (P = 0.89; one sample t test). EGP, endogenous glucose production; LG, low glucose intake; Ra, rate of appearance; SG, standard glucose intake.
