2. Fig. 1
Arterial aspartate level in individual patients according to whole blood analyses (μmol/L) in the basal state (0), during aspartate infusion (60), and 30 minutes after discontinuation of aspartate (90′). The samples for whole blood analysis of aspartate from one patient who received aspartate 12.5 mg/kg body weight/hour were lost by accident. The infusion rates of aspartate (mg/kg body weight per hour) in the remaining 9 patients are given with the legend to case plots.
