Blood sugar and serum @entity2690 levels in the fasting state and following an oral @entity413 load in @entity1 with @entity7493 ( @entity7493 ) were studied. Twenty-nine @entity1 with @entity7493 (15 marasmus, 7 kwashiorkor, and 7 @entity16995 ) and eight healthy @entity1 aged between 6 and 60 months were the subjects of the study. Fasting samples were collected after a 6 h fast. Post- @entity413 samples were collected after an oral @entity413 load of 1.75 g/kg. Serum @entity2690 was estimated by radioimmunoassay and @entity413 by the @entity413 oxidase method. In malnourished @entity1 , the mean fasting blood @entity413 levels were significantly lower. Two hours following an oral @entity413 load, only marasmus and @entity16995 @entity1 showed significantly higher blood @entity413 levels. Similarly, the fasting serum @entity2690 levels were significantly lower in malnourished @entity1 . Two hours after the oral @entity413 load, serum @entity2690 levels increased significantly in malnourished @entity1 but fell well short of the control values. The @entity2690 : @entity413 ratio was consistently low in all cases but was more marked in @entity7493 @entity1 , both in the basal state as well as oral @entity413 loading
