Objective:To study changes in blood glucose and insulin in rats after traumatic brain injury.Methods:Based upon the Feeney’s model
the blood glucose and insulin concentration of each animal group were measured 1/2 hour before the injury and 6?12?24?48?72?120 hours after the injury.Results:The blood glucose concentration increased markedly in each injured group after the injury.The severer the trauma was
the faster the blood glucose increased and the higher the concentration peak reached.The blood insulin concentration increased markedly in moderately and severely injured group
but not in lightly injured one.The severer the trauma was
the faster the blood insulin increased and the higher the concentration peak reached.Conclusion:The post-traumatic hyperglycemia is probably associated with insulin resistance or the changes of the hormones which can raise or drop the insulin level.
