Abstrakt: Response to a primed glucose infusion (0.5 g/kg injected over 3 min and 8 mg/kg/min infused for 3 hr) was studied in 5 term and 11 preterm rhesus monkey neonates 2–3 hr after delivery by cesarian section. The glucose challenge perturbed a steady state glucose specific activity achieved in the previous 100 min by a primed trace infusion of 2-[3H]glucose (6 μCi and 0.2 μCi/min). This allowed the determination of changes in endogenous glucose turnover in response to exogenous glucose in the immediate newborn period.
