Is glucose, or sugar, the brain's only energy source under normal conditions?

05 July 2024 1 3K Report

Due to the decrease in sugar levels in the brain, many symptoms ranging from loss of consciousness to coma may occur. In addition, increased sugar levels in the brain also cause damage.

How to control the sugar level in the brain?

Is there a practical way to do this?

How do we measure?

Hello Seyda,

Sorry, but glycemic control is too time consuming to explain here. Please check any biochemistry or physiology books. Pay attention to glycolysis, glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis...especially to their regulation

allí te best,
