BRAIN SIZE AND NEONATAL GLUCOSE-TURNOVER RATES
1994
The brain is probably the major glucose consuming organ in neonates. In adults brain glucose consumption is ± 5 mg/100 g brain tissue/min. In newborn infants with a brain size of ± 130 g/kg body weight this would account for 6.5 mg glucose /kg/min.
