Our goal is to elucidate the independent effects of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia on brain function. We measured whole-brain amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF) in slow-band 5 (SB5: 0.01-0.027Hz) and slow-band 4 (SB4: 0.027-0.073Hz) in 10 healthy non-diabetic subjects using resting state fMRI during fasting baseline euglycemia (EU), hyperglycemia (HG) and euglycemic hyperinsulinemia (EU-HI). SB5 fractional ALFF was decreased in the left medial frontal gyrus and right posterior cingulate/cuneus/precuneus cortices during HG, but not during EU-HI, relative to EU. Our findings may help understand brain functional adaptations to chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes, and their implications for comorbid neuropsychiatric complications.
