MRS glucose mapping and PET joining forces: Re-evaluation of the lumped constant in the rat brain under isoflurane anaesthesia

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Hongxia Lei, Malte Alf

Although numerous positron emission tomography (PET) studies with ((8) F-fluoro-deoxyglucose) FDG have reported quantitative results on cerebral glucose kinetics and consumption, there is a large variation between the absolute values found in the literatur ...

Brain Glucose Transport and Phosphorylation Under Acute Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia in Mice: An 18F-FDG PET Study

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Malte Alf

We addressed the questions of how cerebral glucose transport and phosphorylation change under acute hypoglycemia and what the underlying mechanisms of adaptation are. Methods: Quantitative 18F-FDG PET combined with the acquisition of real-time arterial inp ...

High-resolution spatial mapping of changes in the neurochemical profile after focal ischemia in mice

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Malte Alf

After ischemic stroke, the ischemic damage to brain tissue evolves over time and with an uneven spatial distribution. Early irreversible changes occur in the ischemic core, whereas, in the penumbra, which receives more collateral blood flow, the damage is ...
