TL;DR: The enzymes are present in amounts which are more than adequate to support glucose metabolism at a rate commensurate with the known rates of O2 uptake by various tracts, and the distribution of some of the enzymes is compatible with the notion that the nodes of Ranvier are regions of high metabolic activity.

TL;DR: Although the rate of use of these compounds during anoxia was similar in both groups of mice, the high level of glucose in brain in glucose-treated mice permitted considerable sparing of these energy-yielding metabolites, and the possibility that inadequate brain glucose supplies may occur in anoxic man in the face of normal or elevated levels of fructose in plasma should be considered.

TL;DR: The levels of the main cerebral energy reserves, ATP, P‐creatine, glycogen and glucose, and of several glycolytic intermediates and lactate, were measured in the brains of fish, turtle and frog and were similar to those found in mammalian brain.

TL;DR: Conurrent administration of glucose with salicylate elevated brain glucose concentration and was associated with striking improvement in the condition and the increased survival of the animals, stressing the fact that in salicYLate poisoning the supply of glucose to the brain may be inadequate even when blood glucose levels are normal.

TL;DR: Significant reductions in brain lactate and malate concentrations in both groups of experimental mice are suggestive of reduced cerebral metabolic rate.
