Cerebral energy metabolism in rats studied by phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance using surface coils.
Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance with surface coils was used to investigate the regional metabolism of the rat brain in vivo under conditions of normoxia, severe hypoxemia, partial necrosis, and partial ischemia. The results show an increase in sugar phosphate and/or inorganic phosphate with injury in accordance with in vivo assays. The technique provides a powerful means of monitoring the metabolism of stroke and its response to therapy in vivo.
