Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Because children with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) caused by recessive loss of function mutations in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent potassium channel (K(ATP)-HI) are not leucine sensitive, we evaluated for protein-induced hypoglycemia with oral protein tolerance tests. STUDY DESIGN: Blood glucose and insulin concentrations were measured every 15 minutes for 3 hours after an oral protein...
