Abstract

Abstract— A method has been developed for the simultaneous measurement of the rates of glucose consumption in the various structural and functional components of the brain in vivo. The method can be applied to most laboratory animals in the conscious state. It is based on the use of 2‐deoxy‐D‐[ 14 C]glucose ([ 14 C]DG) as a tracer for the exchange of glucose between plasma and brain and its phosphorylation by hexokinase in the tissues. [ 14 C]DG is used because the label in its product, [ 14 C]deoxyglucose‐6‐phosphate, is essentially trapped in the tissue over the time course of the measurement. A model has been designed based on the assumptions of a steady state for glucose consumption, a first order equilibration of the free [ 14 C]DG pool in the tissue with the plasma level, and relative rates of phosphorylation of [ 14 C]DG and glucose determined by their relative concentrations in the precursor pools and their respective kinetic constants for the hexokinase reaction. An operational equation based on this model has been derived in terms of determinable variables. A pulse of [ 14 C]DG is administered intravenously and the arterial plasma [ 14 C]DG and glucose concentrations monitored for a preset time between 30 and 45min. At the prescribed time, the head is removed and frozen in liquid N 2 ‐chilled Freon XII, and the brain sectioned for autoradiography. Local tissue concentrations of [ 14 C]DG are determined by quantitative autoradiography. Local cerebral glucose consumpt…

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Lesional [18F]FDG uptake is more or less irreversible in neoplastic cells due to intracellular trapping of the phosphorylated molecule, although reversible uptake has been demonstrated in inflammatory tissue.

    “Lesional uptake of [18F]FDG is more or less irreversible in neoplastic cells [68,69] due to intracellular trapping of the phosphorylated molecule, although reversible uptake has been demonstrated in inflammatory tissue [18].”

  • FDG is a radioactive glucose 2-DG analog that does not enter the glycolytic or Krebs cycle metabolic pathways in the brain.

    “18 F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) (also known as FDG) is a radioactive glucose 2-DG analog that does not enter the glycolytic or Krebs cycle metabolic pathways in the brain (124, 397, 504, 552).”

  • Regions that gain volume correspond roughly to Swanson's dorsolateral subsystem that mediates voluntary behaviors and cognition, whereas regions that lose volume correspond to the ventromedial subsystem that modulates affective and homeostatic functions.

    “Regions that gain volume correspond roughly to Swanson’s dorsolateral subsystem that mediates voluntary behaviors and cognition, whereas regions that lose volume correspond to the ventromedial subsystem that modulates affective and homeostatic functions45.”

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.
