Glucose metabolism following human traumatic brain injury: methods of assessment and pathophysiological findings. [PDF]
The pathophysiology of traumatic brain (TBI) injury involves changes to glucose uptake into the brain and its subsequent metabolism. We review the methods used to study cerebral glucose metabolism with a focus on those used in clinical TBI studies ...

Hypothalamic Vitamin D Improves Glucose Homeostasis and Reduces Weight [PDF]
Despite clear associations between vitamin D deficiency and obesity and/or type 2 diabetes, a causal relationship is not established. Vitamin D receptors (VDRs) are found within multiple tissues, including the brain.
