DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this project is to improve neurological health of diabetics by decreasing the severity and incidence of cerebral ischemia in diabetics. Cerebral ischemia and heart disease are the most serious complications of diabetes, accounting for more than 84% of the mortality among diabetics. Epidemiological studies of cerebral ischemia suggest that diabetes increases both the risk of incidence and exacerbates the consequences of cerebral ischemia. Hyperglycemia is one of the contributing factors. In clinical studies, intensive anti-diabetic therapy was able to delay the onset and slow the progression of secondary complications of diabetes. The major side-effect of intensive diabetic therapy is hypoglycemia. Several reports described hypoglycemic episodes in type 1 and type 2 diabetics receiving intensive therapy. Using the streptozotocin-diabetic rat, we observed that recurrent hypoglycemia (RH) renders the insulin-treated diabetic (ITD) rat brain more sensitive to global cerebral ischemia and results in greater brain damage. Presently, we are proposing to investigate the mechanism by which RH increases ischemic damage in ITD. In preliminary studies we observed that the intra-ischemic extracellular pH drop was enhanced, and the levels of glucose transporters (GLUTs) 1 and 3 were increased in the hippocampus of ITD rats subjected to RH. We hypothesize that in the insulin-treated diabetic brain, increased glucose transporter levels following RH lead to increased intra-ischemic acidosis, sensitizing the brain towards the enhancement of cerebral ischemia-induced damage. The following specific objectives are proposed to test the central hypothesis: 1) To determine how RH increases cerebral ischemic damage in ITD rats; 2) To determine the mechanism by which the larger intra-ischemic pH drop in RH-exposed ITD rats increases cerebral ischemic damage; and 3) To determine the mechanism by which RH increases GLUT1 and GLUT3 levels in the hippocampus of ITD rats. We expect these studies to provide insight into the mechanism by which RH increases ischemic damage in diabetics. Understanding this mechanism will help improve outcome following cerebral ischemia.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的长期目标是通过减少糖尿病患者脑缺血的严重程度和发病率来改善糖尿病患者的神经健康健康。脑缺血和心脏病是糖尿病最严重的并发症，占糖尿病患者死亡率的84％以上。脑缺血的流行病学研究表明，糖尿病既增加发病率的风险，又加剧了脑缺血的后果。高血糖是促成因素之一。在临床研究中，强化抗糖尿病治疗能够延迟糖尿病继发并发症的发作和减缓。强化糖尿病治疗的主要副作用是低血糖。几份报告描述了接受强化治疗的1型降血糖发作和2型糖尿病患者。使用链蛋白酶糖尿病大鼠，我们观察到复发性低血糖症（RH）使胰岛素治疗的糖尿病（ITD）大鼠脑对全球脑缺血更敏感，并导致更大的脑损伤。目前，我们提议研究RH在ITD中增加缺血性损害的机制。在初步的研究中，我们观察到，在受RH的ITD大鼠的海马中，葡萄糖转运蛋白（Gluts）1和3的水平升高，葡萄糖转运蛋白（Gluts）1和3升高。我们假设在胰岛素治疗的糖尿病大脑中，RH后葡萄糖转运蛋白水平增加导致缺血性酸中毒增加，使大脑对增强大脑缺血诱导的损伤的增强。提出了以下特定目标来检验中心假设：1）确定RH如何增加ITD大鼠的脑缺血性损害； 2）确定RH暴露的ITD大鼠中较大缺血性pH下降的机制会增加脑缺血性损伤； 3）确定ITD大鼠海马中RH会增加GLUT1和GLUT3水平的机制。我们希望这些研究能够深入了解RH在糖尿病患者中增加缺血性损害的机制。了解这种机制将有助于改善脑缺血后的预后。
