Attenuation of epileptogenesis by 2-deoxy-d-glucose is accompanied by increased cerebral glucose supply, microglial activation and reduced astrocytosis

Rationale: Neuronal excitability and brain energy homeostasis are strongly interconnected and evidence suggests that both become altered during epileptogenesis. Pharmacologic modulation of cerebral glucose metabolism might therefore exert anti-epileptogenic effects. Here we provide mechanistic insig...
