In the short time since its introduction, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has rapidly evolved to become an indispensable tool for clinical diagnosis and biomedical research. Recently, this methodology has been successfully used for the acquisition of func ...
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 ...
The role of lactate in brain energy metabolism has recently received renewed attention. Although blood-borne monocarboxylates such as lactate poorly cross the blood-brain barrier in the adult brain, lactate produced within the brain parenchyma may be a sui ...
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 ...
A noninvasive test is needed to assess the severity of encephalopathy during fulminant hepatic failure. This feasibility study was designed to compare a noninvasive test, brain lactate measurement by magnetic resonance spectroscopy, with intracranial press ...
Evidence suggests that astrocytes might play an important role in cerebral energy metabolism. A recently developed cell line, called DI TNC1, displays several characteristic features of astrocytes. Thus, we have investigated in these cells a number of para ...
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 ...
Continuous cultures of a hybridoma cell line (Zac3) were performed with 2 14C-labeled substrates: glucose and glutamine. A simplified network was used to describe cell metab. This simple network gave a good idea of the main fluxes into the cell, esp. for c ...
A tight coupling exists between neuronal activity and energy metabolism. Over a century ago Roy and Sherrington postulated that “the brain possesses intrinsic mechanisms by which its vascular supply can be varied locally in correspondence with local variat ...
The puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA) is thought to contribute to the degradation of enkephalins. Besides being the most abundant aminopeptidase in the brain, PSA is expressed in other organs as well. From a human fetal brain cDNA library, we have i ...
