Abstract Introduction It is recognized that administration of insulin with glucose decreases catabolic response in sepsis. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of two levels of insulinaemia on glucose metabolism and energy expenditure in septic patients and volunteers. Methods Glucose uptake oxidation and storage and energy expenditure were measured using indirect calorimetry in 20 stable septic patients and 10 volunteers in a two-step hyperinsulinaemic serum insulin levels 250 and 1250 mIU l euglycaemic blood .
