Effect of bilateral lesions of the suprachiasmatic nucleus on hyperglycemia caused by 2-deoxy- d-glucose and vasoactive intestinal peptide in rats

In mammals, the brain usually uses glucose as a sole energy source. Thus, under a central glucopenic condition after intracranial injection of 2-deoxy- d-glucose (2DG), an inhibitor of glucose utilization, it has been shown that rats elevate their blood glucose level through excitation of the sympat...
