Comparison of steady-state brain glucose content at certain plasma glucose ranges between chronic hypoglycaemia and sham-treated groups
| Plasma glucose range (mM) | 5-10 | 10-15 | 15-20 | 20-25 | 25-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chronic hypoglycaemia (μmol/g) | 3.4 ± 0.9 (65)* | 5.3 ± 0.7 (65)* | 7.6 ± 1.0 (14)* | 10.1 ± 1.9 (6)* | 11.2 ± 1.0 (12)* |
| Sham-treated (μmol/g) | 2.5 ± 0.5 (18) | 3.9 ± 0.7 (39) | 5.5 ± 0.9 (25) | 6.2 ± 1.0 (7) | 6.9 ± 0.8 (3) |
All data are presented as mean ± SD. The number of measurements is listed in parentheses. For each specific plasma glucose range, the difference between the two groups was highly significant
(p < 0.005, unpaired t-test).
