Glucose triggers brain cell death in rats after hypoglycemic coma
Brain damage that was thought to be caused by hypoglycemic coma actually occurs when glucose is administered to treat the coma, according to a study in rodents led by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. The results are surprising, say the authors, and may be of clinical significance for the treatment of diabetics in hypoglycemic coma, though they caution that the results c...Glucose Causes Death of Brain Cells in Rodents Following Hypoglycemic Coma
It was thought that hypoglycemic coma causes brain damage. On the contrary brain damage occurs only when glucose is given to treat the coma//, as discovered by researchers from San Francisco VA Medical Center, during a study on rodents. The study results may have implications on the treatment of diabetics in hypoglycemic coma, though detailed research is necessary before it can be appl...Sulfonylurea Hypoglycemics, Serum or Plasma
