Abstract
It is well established that severe hypoglycemia is accompanied by changes in cerebral functional activity and by a decrease in the cerebral metabolism of glucose. The results published on cerebral blood flow (CBF) during hypoglycemia are, however, controversial. Whereas most authors reported constant CBF, Norberg and Siesjö (1976) demonstrated in rats that CBF increased significantly both when the EEG showed a pattern of slow waves and polyspikes and when electrical activity ceased.
