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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
