Figure 2

Changes in calculated arterial jugular venous differences in glucose (grey box plots) and lactate (white box plots) for pre-defined arterial blood glucose clusters. Compared with low arterial blood glucose levels cerebral glucose uptake was significantly increased although cerebral lactate production was significantly decreased at arterial blood glucose concentrations between 7.5 and 8.5 mmol/l (*p < 0.001; analysis of variance (ANOVA) on ranks and post hoc Dunn's test). Cerebral uptake is reflected by positive values although cerebral release is unmasked by negative values. AJVD = arterio-jugularvenous difference; glc = glucose; lac = lactate.
