Age-Related Differences in Hippocampal Extracellular Fluid Glucose Concentration During Behavioral Testing and Following Systemic Glucose Administration
Abstract
Recent evidence indicates that the level of glucose in the brain's extracellular fluid (ECF) is not constant, as traditionally thought, but fluctuates. We determined the effect of aging on hippocampal ECF glucose before, during, and after spatial memory testing. Fischer-344 rats (24 months old) showed a greater decrease in ECF glucose than 3-month-old rats (48% vs 12%); the decrease seen in 24-month-old rats persisted for much longer following testing. These changes were associated with an age-related deficit in spontaneous alternation performance. Following systemic glucose administration, the decrease in ECF glucose was reversed in both aged and young rats, and performance in aged versus young rats following glucose administration did not differ. These findings suggest that increased susceptibility to depletion of ECF glucose in aged rats may contribute to age-related deficits in learning and memory and that administration of glucose may enhance memory by providing additional glucose to the brain at times of increased cognitive demand.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
