Fig 1 Plasma concentrations of epinephrine (nmol litre−1), norepinephrine (nmol litre−1), insulin (mU litre−1), glucose (mmol litre−1) and lactate (mmol litre−1) and the insulin/glucose ratio (U mol−1). The figure concentrates on the effects of age when the two treatment groups are combined. Data are geometric means with se before surgery (Pre.), at the end of surgery (End) and 6, 12 and 24 h after surgery. Note the logarithmic scale of the vertical axes.
