Counter-regulatory hormones.

Hematological and cardiovascular parameters and counter-regulatory hormones at baseline and during hypoglycemia six days after an intravenous injection of 40,000 IU of EPO or placebo in 11 patients with type 1 diabetes. P-values refer to comparisons between baseline and hypoglycemic values in a paired t-test. The adjusted effect of EPO compared to placebo is presented in the two columns at the right (ANCOVA). The hypoglycemic values are all peak-values, except for potassium and diastolic blood pressure, which are nadir values. Abbreviations: EPO = erythropoietin. ANCOVA = analysis of co-variance.* = calculated on logarithmic values (log10) and in the ANCOVA back-transformed to percent.
