Table 6 Glucose storage in septic patients and volunteers
From: Influence of insulin on glucose metabolism and energy expenditure in septic patients
Parameter | Septic patients | Volunteers | Significance (between groups)1 |
|---|---|---|---|
Glucose storage in step 1 | 0.4 (-0.4 to +3.19) | 7.6 (5.80–9.50) | - |
Glucose storage in step 2 | 2.3 (0.92–4.16) | 11.6 (9.70–13.60) | - |
Significance (within groups)2: step 1 versus step 2 | P < 0.01 | P < 0.01 | - |
Difference between step 2 and step 1 | 1.51 (0.24–2.69) | 4.0 (2.95–5.30) | P < 0.01 |
