The insulin resistance after traumatic brain injury in rats
Objective:To study the insulin resistance after traumatic brain injury in rats.Methods:Based upon the Feeney’s model
the blood glucose and insulin concentration of each animal group were measured 1/2 hour before injury and 6
12
24
48
72
120 hours after injury;the three indices BG
60-120
GIR
60-120
ISI reflecting the insulin sensitivity were measured 24 hours after severe traumatic brain injury by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.Results:Both the blood glucose and insulin concentration increased markedly in medium and severely injured group after injury.BG
60-120
increased markedly and GIR
60-120
ISI decreased significantly 24 hours after severe trauma in injured animal compared with sham group.Conclusion:Both the blood glucose and insulin concentration increase markedly in severe injured group after injury.The fact that higher-level insulin cannot reduce the increased blood glucose is due to acute insulin resistance developing after traumatic brain injury.
