Long-term metabolism of [U-14C]glucose in the whole rat brain.
The experiment was performed on rats to which a single injection of [U-14C]glucose had been administered. Results were observed from the 7th to the 281st day following contamination. At 280 days only the lipids in the brain contained radioactivity, the highest degree of specific activity being found in the cerebrosides.
