title: Study of the coefficient of glucose assimilation during muscular exercise in diabetic adolescents deprived of insulin.
abstract: In six insulin deprived adolescent diabetics, the influence of muscular effort equal to 50% of the VO2 max on the coefficient of glucose assimilation was evaluated. During an IVTT the coefficient of glucose assimilation at rest was (0.59). 10(-2) +/- 0.14 and it did not increase during physical activity. A minimal concentration of insulin is apparently indispensable to increase glucose utilisation during muscular effort. At higher concentrations other factors probably intervene to enhance glucose assimilation.
