Kinetics of GLP-1 (a), IL6 (b), Glucose (c), C-Peptide (d) and Insulin-Infusion-Rate (e) over time with time point 1 illustrating blood drawn directly before surgery (baseline), time point 2: at arrival to the intensive care unit (4–6 h post initiation of surgery), time point 3: 6 h post arrival to the ICU (10–12 h post initiation of surgery) and the morning of the first (time point 4) and second (time point 5) postoperative days. P-values indicate the comparison to baseline (time point 1) with * <0.05; ** <0.01; *** <0.001 using a paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed rank sum tests for the differences
