Neuroprotective role of lactate after cerebral ischemia

Pierre Magistretti, Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Jonathan Thevenet

It is well established that lactate can be used as an energy substrate by the brain by conversion to pyruvate and a subsequent oxidation in the mitochondria. Knowing the need for readily metabolizable substrates directly after ischemia and the protective e ...

Snapshot gradient-recalled echo-planar images of rat brains at long echo time at 9.4 T

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Nathalie Just

With improved B-0 homogeneity along with satisfactory gradient performance at high magnetic fields, snapshot gradient-recalled echo-planar imaging (GRE-EPI) would perform at long echo times (TEs) oil the order of T-2*, which intrinsically allows obtaining ...

Non-invasive quantification of brain glycogen absolute concentration

Sabrina Laus, Rolf Gruetter, Ruud van Heeswijk, Lijing Xin, Hanne Frenkel, Hongxia Lei

The only currently available method to measure brain glycogen in vivo is C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Incorporation of C-13-labeled glucose (Glc) is necessary to allow glycogen measurement, but might be affected by turnover changes. Our aim was to measure glycog ...

Direct validation of in vivo localized 13C MRS measurements of brain glycogen

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

With the use of localized 13C MRS in conjunction with [1-(13)C]-D-glucose infusion, it is possible to study brain glycogen metabolism in vivo. The purpose of this study was to validate in vivo 13C MRS measurements by comparing them with results from a stan ...

Effect of chronic hypoglycaemia on glucose concentration and glycogen content in rat brain: A localized 13C NMR study

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

While chronic hypoglycaemia has been reported to increase unidirectional glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and to increase GLUT1 expression at the endothelium, the effect on steady-state brain d-glucose and brain glycogen content is cu ...
