Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare glycemic thresholds for hyp oglycemic responses in obese and control subjects. A modified glucose- clamp technique was used to produce a standardized fall in plasma gluc ose (0.5 mmol/l per 40 min) in nine morbidly obese and ten control sub jects. The release of the counterregulatory hormones was measured and a symptom questionnaire was filled out every 10 min.
