We show that hyperglycemia primes the thromboinflammatory cascade, thus, amplifying middle cerebral artery occlusion-induced DMT. DMT exacerbation in hyperglycemic rats impaired reperfusion and precipitated neurovascular damage, blood-brain barrier disruption, and hemorrhagic transformation. Our results designate DMT as a possible target for reduction of the deleterious impact of hyperglycemia in acute ischemic stroke.
