Transcriptional and neuroprotective effects of hexokinase-2 inhibitors administered after stroke
2025-04-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The inflammatory response induced by stroke can exacerbate injury to peri-infarct tissue. Microglia and other immune cells that mediate this response require increased glycolytic flux during pro-inflammatory activation. These cells, unlike neurons and most other cell types, utilize hexokinase-2 (HK2) rather than hexokinase-1 for glycolysis, such that HK2 inhibitors may selectively target them to...
