FIG. 1.

Hyperglycemia at the time of injury did not affect recovery of motor skills. (A) Schematic diagram showing the paradigm for glucose injection, injury, motor assessment, and behavioral testing.(B) Intraperitoneal injection of glucose led to a significant increase in blood glucose immediately prior to injury. Post-injury, there was no difference between vehicle (n = 11) and glucose (n = 10) animals in performance of (C) the balance beam task, or in (D) the foot fault task (open diamond = task performance pre-injury; data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean; *p < 0.05; MWM, Morris water maze; STM, short-term memory; LTM, long-term memory).
