Despite striking advances in functional brain imaging, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the signals detected by these techniques are still largely unknown. The basic physiological principle of functional imaging is represented by the tig ...
Signals detected with functional brain imaging techniques are based on the coupling between neuronal activity and energy metabolism. Positron emission tomography signals detect blood flow, oxygen consumption and glucose utilization associated with neuronal ...
In this thesis, the synthesis of oligomers of β-amino acids (β-peptides) is described. Their secondary structure is investigated by several techniques, in particular nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, but also circular dichroism and infrared sp ...
Elevated tissue lactate concentrations typically found in tumors can be measured by in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In this study, lactate turnover in rat C6 glioma was determined from in vivo 1H NMR measurements of [3-13C]lactate bu ...
Spurious responses, known as phantom and ghost responses, in NMR 2-dimensional J spectroscopy, can be removed by a 4-step sequence where the phase of the C refocusing pulse is cycled through O, 90, 180, 270 Deg while the receiver ref. phase is alternated. ...
Understanding the mechanism of brain glucose transport across the blood- brain barrier is of importance to understanding brain energy metabolism. The specific kinetics of glucose transport nave been generally described using standard Michaelis-Menten kinet ...
The difference between 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra obtained from the human brain during euglycemia and during hyperglycemia is depicted as well-resolved glucose peaks. The time course of these brain glucose changes during a rapid increase i ...
Glucose is the main fuel for energy metabolism in the normal human brain. It is generally assumed that glucose transport into the brain is not rate-limiting for metabolism. Since brain glucose concentrations cannot be determined directly by radiotracer tec ...
