Role Of Hyperglycemia, Hypoglycemia, and Glucose Transporter 4 on Brain Glucose Sensing, Counterregulation, and Neuronal Viability
As glucose is the main fuel source for the brain and a major nutrient for peripheral tissues, the brain must sense and respond to changes in blood glucose in order to sustain its own nutritional requirements and maintain whole body energy homeostasis. Disruption of brain glucose sensing results in …
