Abstract

Glucokinase (GK) plays a key role in the control of blood glucose homeostasis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on immunoreactivities of GK and its regulatory protein (GKRP) following 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils.

  • We investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on immunoreactivities of GK and its regulatory protein (GKRP) following 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils

  • The gerbils were randomly assigned to 4 groups (shamoperated-group, ischemia-operated-group, IPC plus (+) sham-operated-group and IPC+ischemia-operatedgroup)
