title: Prolonged deterioration of ischemic brain energy metabolism and acidosis associated with hyperglycemia: human cerebral infarction studied by serial 31P NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: We report on a patient with a large ischemic hemispherical stroke studied serially by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Persistent hyperglycemia was associated with prolonged acidosis in ischemic brain and failure of high-energy phosphate metabolism to recover. These in vivo human data support the concept that hyperglycemia adversely affects ischemic brain metabolism, pH, and clinical outcome.
