| Abstract | Iatrogenic hypoglycemia is the limiting factor to glycemic control in type I diabetes and in the course of late stages of type II diabetes. Profound, prolonged hypoglycemia, if unchecked, can cause brain death. When glucose levels fall, an elaborate and redundant feedback loop involving counterregulatory endocrine responses operates synchronously to prevent or correct hypoglycemia in humans. Glucose sensing elements located in the hypothalamus, hindbrain, and portal-mesenteric veins are responsible mediating this homeostatic mechanism. Individuals with diabetes are unable to maintain blood glucose within a narrow healthy physiologic range because of therapeutic insulin excess and compromised glycemic defenses. Understanding the functional organization and how glucose sensing information is integrated between these networks should provide insight into the pathogenic mechanisms underlying impaired hypoglycemic detection. ❧ Therefore, the overall goal was to 1) investigate the interaction between the peripheral glucose sensors and those of the central nervous system (CNS) when hypoglycemia develops at different rates and 2) whether catecholaminergic projections from the hindbrain to forebrain are required linkage for the control of counterregulation during insulin induced hypoglycemia and to 3) examine the role of portal-mesenteric glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors in hypoglycemic sensing. |
