Insulin response to glucose infusion in thermal trauma in rats.
The basal serum insulin level, insulin response and glycogen storage in the liver and skeletal muscle during a glucose infusion were studied 20-24 hours after experimental infliction of a burn in the rat. As was found in earlier studies, the liver glycogen storage was normal, while the storage of glycogen in the muscle was markedly inhibited. This inhibition cannot have been due to an absolute insuline deficiency, which has been discussed, as both the basal fasting level of insulin and the insulin response to glucose infusion were normal after the burn.
