Tomographic measurement of local cerebral glucose metabolic rate in humans with (F-18)2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose: validation of method.

TL;DR: The data indicate that cerebral FDG‐6‐PO4 in humans increases for about 90 minutes, plateaus, and then slowly decreases, and that cerebral blood FDG activity levels were found to be a minor fraction of tissue activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain uptake of radiolabeled amino acids, amines, and hexoses after arterial injection

TL;DR: Saturability of D-glucose uptake was demonstrated and evidence presented that all of the five hexoses measurably taken up by brain shared a common carrier, two blood-brain barrier carrier systems for amino acids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transport of metabolic substrates through the blood-brain barrier.

TL;DR: The non-saturable component of BBB transport of metabolic substrates varies over a 30-fold range and probably reflects transport via either very low affinity, high capacity systems, or via free diffusion.

Glucose metabolic rate kinetic model parameter determination in humans: the lumped constants and rate constants for [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose and [11C]deoxyglucose.

TL;DR: Using the rate constants and lumped constants determined in humans for the glucose metabolic rate kinetic model used to measure local cerebral glucose consumption, the average whole-brain metabolic rates for glucose in normal subjects measured with [18F]FDG and [11C]DG are 5.66 ± 0.37 (n = 6) and 4.99 mg/100 g/min, respectively.

Kinetic analysis of blood-brain barrier transport of amino acids

TL;DR: The Michaelis-Menten kinetics of blood-brain barrier transport of fourteen amino acids was investigated with a tissue-sampling, single-injection technique in the anesthetized rat to determine transport V values and determine brain clearance of tracer concentration of amino acid.
