Higher plasma glucose levels correlated with greater brain activity in executive control centers in the ACC and ventromedial PFC, whereas higher levels of plasma cortisol, but not other hormones, were correlated with greater activation in reward regions, such as the insula and putamen (P < 0.01, corrected), in response to high - calorie food cues.
The authors highlight that these sex differences have to be considered before starting metabolically active drugs, because
higher plasma glucose levels were also associated with increased glucose kinetics, in diabetic patients, and this might have clinical relevance especially during ischemia.
