Acute insulin response to arginine

The acute serum insulin response to arginine increases in an approximately linear manner as blood glucose concentrations increase from 100 to 300 mg/dL (5.6 to 16.7 mmol/L), reaching a plateau above 450 mg/dL (25 mmol/L). To convert insulin values to pmol/L, multiply by 6; to convert blood glucose values to mmol/L, multiply by 0.056.
