Abstract excerpt
We examined the effects of 45-min hypoxia (FiO(2) 0.08; Hx) vs. normoxia (FiO(2) 0.21; Nx) on the ipsilateral (Ipsi) and contralateral (Ctrl) sides of the brain in neuronal glucose transporter isoform 3 (Glut3) heterozygous null mice (glut3(+/-)) and their wild-type littermates (WT), undergoing unilateral carotid artery ligation. Glut3(+/-) mice, under Nx, demonstrated a compensatory increase in blood-brain...
