title: Glucose homeostasis in the micropremie.
abstract: This article evaluates the current knowledge of the kinetics of glucose homeostasis in the micropremie. Glucose production, glucose use, and glucose oxidation are reviewed in detail. This article also evaluates the developmental regulation of glucose homeostasis relative to some of the fundamental differences known to exist in the neonate compared to the adult.
