Intraoperative muscle and fat metabolism in diabetic patients during coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a parallel microdialysis and organ balance study

In terms of lipolysis in the fat tissue and glucose transport in the muscle, the non-diabetic patients were metabolically 'diabetics' during surgery. Despite strict blood glucose control, disturbances in glucose homeostasis in the diabetic muscle persist. Microdialysis was easy to use during cardiac surgery.
