Arterial plasma glucose values throughout a 24-h period average approximately 90 mg/dl, with a maximal concentration usually not exceeding 165 mg/dl such as after meal ingestion and remaining above 55 mg/dl such as after exercise or a moderate fast (60 h). This relative stability contrasts with the situation for other substrates such as glycerol, lactate, free fatty acids, and ketone bodies whose fluctuations are much wider (Table 2.1). © 2010 Springer-Verlag US.
