Abstract
The increase in glucose production after glucagon was similar in preterm AGA and SGA infants, and mainly due to an increase in glycogenolysis. Based on the assumption that glycogenolysis is an indicator of liver glycogen content, our data do not support the hypothesis that liver glycogen content is lower in preterm SGA compared to AGA infants after the first postnatal day.
