Validation of an equation for calculation of glucose appearance during nonsteady state in sheep.
The purpose of this study was to validate the calculation of the rate of glucose appearance (RA) during nonsteady state for sheep. The RA given by the modified single-compartment model was compared with the actual rate derived from the sum of the infusion of exogenous glucose and endogenous production as determined from hepatic production of glucose. Using a pool fraction of 0.65, the error associated with calculation of RA was about 10%.
