Abstract:
Regional cerebral blood flow and glucose utilization were measured in awake-restrained rats during euglycemic hyperinsulinemia and were found to be normal. This indicates that elevated plasma insulin does not alter cerebral blood flow and cannot explain decreases in cerebral blood flow measured during acute hyperglycemia.
