Ischemic vs positive control: comparative analysis of the glucose trend in one patient. The basal level in the ischemic limb was perceptible lower than the positive control. After revascularization (arrow), glucose level in the ischemic limb rapidly decreased and finally re-increased reaching similar trend of the positive control: the circadian rhythm was restored. Note that the important variations in the positive control could be influenced by the neuroendocrine stimulation.
