“…Plasma glucose and insulin increased significantly in the eating group compared with the starved group, demonstrating that calories were being absorbed and used. Changes in lactate were similar in the two groups suggesting that the problem of lactic acidosis that occurs when giving intravenous glucose to labouring women does not appear to occur with enteral nutrition [8].…”

“…The studies carried out to date on alterations in the maternal and fetal acid-base equilibrium brought about by glucose infusion into the mother have yielded contradictory results, especially in the presence of fetal distress. When, on the one hand, improved metabolic fetal conditions mainly due to pH elevation [13] have been reported, increased metabolic acidosis due to the increase in acid radicals released under anaerobic glycolysis conditions has also been reported [4,12]. It has been reported that in the case of fetuses showing no clinical or laboratory evidence of intrapartum distress, glucose infusion into the mother has not significantly modified the pH and blood gases values in the capillary blood from the scalp [2].…”

“…infusion (Ames et al, 1975;Van Biervliet et al, 1976). The present work, however, does not suggest that intravenous glucose infusion is likely to cause large increases in blood lactate concentration in ill surgical patients as glucose intolerance would tend to reduce glucose availability for glycolysis.…”
