LGALS1 and Hypoglycemia: reported an inverse relationship between blood glucose and hPL levels within healthy pregnant individuals: insulin‐induced hypoglycemia caused a ~ 25% rise in hPL levels (peaking at 30 minutes after insulin administration), whereas rapid intravenous administration of intravenous glucose (bringing blood glucose levels to a mean of 22.2 mmol/L) saw hPL fall over a similar timeframe.
