The Claim
Both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the medial amygdala project to the ventromedial hypothalamus and can independently increase blood glucose levels when activated, indicating that a dual excitatory-inhibitory neural circuit regulates stress-induced hyperglycemia.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When you're stressed, two types of brain cells in a specific area send signals to another part of the brain that tells your body to raise your blood sugar — even though one type excites and the other inhibits, both can make your blood sugar go up.
