[Correction of pathological conditions associated with insulin-resistant hyperglycaemia].

High level of glucose in the blood in hypoxic-ischemic states is one of the main factors that complicates the degree of brain damage. An increased level of reactive oxygen species and impaired functioning of the endogenous antioxidant system are the consequences of the hyperglycemic-ischemic condition. Medical treatment is necessary to compensate for the development of cerebrovascular disorders in ischemia comorbid to diabetes mellitus. The use of antioxidants (2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate) is the most therapeutically effective.
