Abstract: Le silection mdtabolique au niveau du cerveau R E S U M ELe cerveau normalement doit obligatoirement consommer du glucose, mais il a le potentiel enzymatique pour mktaboliser d'autres substrats. Une chute du glucose apportk au cerveau par sa circulation, comme dans I'hypoglyctmie (faible concentration de glucose dans le sang), est suivie par une chute du taux metabolique ckrkbral en glucose, et par le dkclenchement des rkponses hormonales symptomatiques (qui agissent pour rktablir le glucose du sang), ainsi qu… Show more

“…This high demand can be explained by the higher glucose requirement per kg bodyweight in young children in comparison to older children and adults as a consequence of the higher brain mass to body mass ratio and cerebral glucose utilization being the major contributor to peripheral glucose uptake [2,23]. Thus, hepatic glycogen stores in young children will become more rapidly depleted during fasting, increasing the dependency on gluconeogenesis.…”

“…The blood-brain barrier is not significantly permeable to fats (16), and therefore a high-fat diet might plausibly lead to substrate deprivation. Indeed, rats fed a high-fat diet, with severe impairment in cognitive function, improved following injection of an intraperitoneal bolus of glucose (14).…”

“…The weight of the human brain increases 3.5-fold from birth (400 g) to adulthood (1400 g), whereas body weight increases more than 20-fold [31], which means a 6-fold decrease in the ratio of brain weight to body weight. Because the brain is a major user of glucose [65], young children meet up to these cerebral demands by producing relatively more glucose in relation to their body weight [17]. This relationship of EGP to brain weight is found to be linear throughout life [32].…”
