Increased 2-deoxyglucose uptake in hippocampus, globus pallidus and substantia nigra after cerebral ischemia

Abstract

Ten minutes of complete cerebral ischemia in the rat results in a short period of increased 14C-2-deoxyglucose uptake in hippocampus, globus pallidus and substantia nigra, regions which selectively develop ischemic nerve cell changes, possibly as a result of damage to a transmitter system.
