Figure 1 Individual responses to insulin of the pulmonary gas exchange and exercise capacities. Filled circles are the means ± SD. *p < 0.01 vs. baseline. DLCO = lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide; DM = diffusing capacity of the alveolar-capillary membrane; peak VO2 = oxygen consumption at peak exercise; Vc = pulmonary capillary volume available for gas exchange; VE/VCO2 slope = slope of the increase in ventilation with respect to carbon dioxide production; VO2AT = oxygen consumption at the anaerobic threshold.
