Cerebral Oxygen/Glucose Ratio is Low During Sensory Stimulation and Rises Above Normal During Recovery: Excess Glucose Consumption During Stimulation Is Not Accounted for by Lactate Efflux From or Accumulation in Brain Tissue

BACK TO ARTICLETable 2. Metabolite levels in cerebral cortex before, during, and after sensory stimulation
| Sensory Stimulation | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Metabolite Concentration ( mol/g) | Before(n = 39) | During (n = 8) | After (n = 13) |
Values are mean  SD of number of experiments indicated in parentheses. | |||
| Glucose | 2.8 0.5 | 3.1 0.5 | 3.2 0.6*
|
| Lactate | 1.0 0.5 | 1.9 0.4*
| 1.2 0.7 |
| Glycogen | 6.1 1.4 | 5.4 1.3 | 4.8 1.2*
|
* P < 0.05, statistically significantly different from values before stimulation.
