Neuronal apoptosis after CRS and glucose sensitive brain regions.

Caspase-3 expression and TUNEL positive staining regions (CRS-hyperglycemic mice compared to the CRS-normoglycemic mice)	Whether it can be excited by glucose#
Prefrontal cortex (mainly in medial prefrontal cortex)	No
Hippocampal structure	No
acNTS	Yes##
pcNTS	No
Cerebellar cortex (variable regions)	No

Structural names refer to the mouse brain stereotaxic atlas (Paxinos and Franklin, 2001). acNTS, Anterior part of the commissural sub-nucleus of NTS; pcNTS, Posterior part of the commissural sub-nucleus of NTS. ^#Compared with saline injection, the c-Fos positive nuclei increased significantly after glucose injection. ^##See Supplementary Figure S4 in Supplementary Material.
