Abstract
Plasma glucose and insulin were studied during lethargy and spontaneous arousal of hibernating hedgehogs. During lethargy, plasma glucose and insulin were low and showed no variation. Glucose and insulin injections given during lethargy showed no effects on plasma insulin and glucose, respectively, but confirmed a very low plasma clearance of glucose and insulin. During spontaneous arousal, the increase in plasma insulin occurred before the increase in blood glucose and at about the time that utilization of blood glucose was restored.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
