CD41a+/glycophorin A- and CD41a-/glycophorin A+ cells were sorted by FACS from CD34- cell fractions from marrow aspirates obtained at day 0 following 45 to 49 hours of continuous [2H2]-glucose infusion.

Number of different donors.

Values are the mean ± SEM determined calculated from measurements of %[2H2] dA enrichment as described in “Patients, materials, and methods”. The percent new cells takes into consideration the mean plasma [2H2]-glucose concentration, and calculations for fractional replacement rates (k/day) and replacement rate t1/2 also take into account the number of hours of continuous [2H2]-glucose infusion.

§

Calculated from the decrease in %[2H2] dA enrichment observed at week 2.

n = 3.
