Effect of hypoglycemia on cerebral metabolism and carbon dioxide responsivity

This study examined the effects of hypoglycemia (HG) on cerebral metabolism and cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide. This study shows that the cerebral blood flow (CBF) hypercapnic response remains intact during HG; however, hypocapnia causes severe EEG disturbances and impairs the cerebral...

Zusammenfassung:This study examined the effects of hypoglycemia (HG) on cerebral metabolism and cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide. This study shows that the cerebral blood flow (CBF) hypercapnic response remains intact during HG; however, hypocapnia causes severe EEG disturbances and impairs the cerebral vasoconstriction response.
