Post-stroke hyperglycaemia appears to be associated with a negative regulation of BDNF and a different reaction in EPC levels. However, neither BDNF nor EPCs showed significant mediation of the PSH association with IS outcome, and only higher interleukin-6 in the follow-up samples (72-96 h) was related to poor outcomes, independently of PSH status. Further studies are needed to achieve definite conclusions.
