Figure 2

Linear regression analysis of fasting glucose, L-Asp, and glucocorticoid potency during induction therapy and protocol III. Linear regression analysis shows significant hypoglycemia during L-Asp use (p < 0.001) and a significant hyperglycemic effect of glucocorticoids (p = 0.015). Fasting glucose levels were plotted with L-Asp (□) and without L-Asp (). Glucocorticoid potency is calculated as hydrocortisone equivalence with conversion ratios of 4:1 (prednisolone) and 20:1 (dexamethasone). L-Asp denotes L-asparaginase.
