Post-stroke hyperglycemia occurs in 30% - 60% of ischemic stroke patients as part of the systemic stress response, but neither clinical evidence nor pre-clinical studies indicate whether post-stroke hyperglycemia affects stroke outcome. Here we investigated this issue using a mouse model of permanent ischemia. Mice were maintained either normoglycemic or hyperglycemic during the interval of 17 - 48 hours after ischemia onset. Post-stroke hyperglycemia was found to increase infarct volume, blood-brain barrier disruption, and hemorrhage formation, and to impair motor recovery. Post-stroke hyperglycemia also increased superoxide formation by peri-infarct microglia/macrophages. In contrast, post-stroke hyperglycemia did not increase superoxide formation or exacerbate motor impairment in p47phox-/- mice, which cannot form an active superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase-2 complex. These results suggest that hyperglycemia occurring hours-to-days after ischemia can increase oxidative stress in peri-infarct tissues by fueling NADPH oxidase activity in reactive microglia/macrophages, and by this mechanism contribute to worsened functional outcome.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
