Although glucose production is increased in severe malaria, the influence of uncomplicated malaria on glucose production is unknown. Therefore, we measured in eight adult Vietnamese patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria and eight healthy Vietnamese controls glucose production (by infusion of [6,6-2H2]glucose) and the fractional contribution of gluconeogenesis (by oral ingestion of 2H2O); glycogenolysis was calculated as the difference between the two. After 20 h of fasting, plasma glucose was 4.7 +/- 0.2 mmol/l in the patients and 4.3 +/- 0.2 mmol/l in the controls (not significant). Glucose production was approximately 25% higher in the patients (16.9 +/- 1.3 vs. 13.4 +/- 0.3 mumol.kg-1.min-1, P = 0.01). Fractional and absolute gluconeogenesis were increased in the patients (approximately 87 vs. approximately 59%, P |
