[Fasting insulinemie levels and after overload with oral glucose in malnourrised children (author's transl)].

Fasting insulinemie levels and after overload with oral glucose are studied in 43 malnourished children aged between 3 months and 12 years. The results are: Increasing of insuline secretion according to the age. This correlation is positive in both, fasting levels and after overload. We found a tendency to low levels of insuline without statistical significative differences on comparing the healthy child of the same age, excluding the infants.
