Failure of thermoregulation in the cold during hypoglycaemia induced by exercise and ethanol

摘要

1. After young men had exercised for approximately 2 hr at 70% maximum O2 uptake, and taken 28 ml. ethanol by mouth, their mean blood glucose fell to 2·17 mM. It fell further to 1·77 mM during a 30 min exposure to air at 14·5° C. Plasma lactate, glycerol, β-hydroxybutyrate and free fatty acid concentrations increased.
