The energy expenditure (VO2) was measured during the first 36 hours of life in 10 infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) and in 16 normal newborns (NB). The mean VO2 was 5,72 ml/kg/min +/- 0,4 for the NB and 4,94 ml/kg/min. +/- 0,3 for the IDM. The respiratory quotients were similar for both groups. Blood glucose determination from all IDM were greater than 44 mg%. Although the low VO2 for IDM is unexplained, several hypothesis might be anticipated: either lack of utilization of abundant endogenous glycogen stores or increased metabolism of glucose by the cells.
对10名糖尿病母亲的婴儿（IDM）和16名正常新生儿（NB）出生后最初36小时的能量消耗（VO2）进行了测量。NB的平均VO2为5.72毫升/千克/分钟±0.4，IDM为4.94毫升/千克/分钟±0.3。两组的呼吸商相似。所有IDM的血糖测定值均大于44毫克%。尽管IDM的VO2较低原因不明，但可以预想几种假设：要么是缺乏对丰富内源性糖原储备的利用，要么是细胞对葡萄糖的代谢增加。
