Influence of acute hyperglycemia in human sepsis on inflammatory cytokine and counterregulatory hormone concentrations

Figure 2 Circulation glucagon levels during hyperglycemia clamps in 20 patients of control group (○-○) and in 20 pa-tients of IGT group (△-△). Mean ± S.E.M. in human sepsis. In control group, plasma glucagon levels decreased from a basal value to the lowest level within half an hour (P < 0.01) and a low level maintained, and was not significantly declined in IGT group in the entire observation period.
