Glucose Tolerance Tests

Pildes, et al. have speculated on the discrepancy observed between umbilical venous and peripheral venous sampling for blood glucose and plasma insulin during oral glucose tolerance tests in the newborn infant. Since the liver is a major source of insulinase activity, it will metabolize, in part, the insulin released by the pancreas. Thus, insulin measured peripherally or post hepatically, will not be the same as that measured in the umbilical vein from a pre-hepatic placement of the catheter tip.
