Alterations of local cerebral blood flow during hypoxic hypoxia; 14C-iodoantipyrine autoradiographic study.

Carbohydrate distribution in mammal; Whole-body autoradiographic approach.

“…The main fuel of the brain under normal conditions is glucose (46), but under certain conditions, for example starvation, ketone bodies from fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue may be used as an energy source in place of glucose (45) . Local blood flow and the blood-brain barrier may also change under certain conditions like hypoxia (41). Furthermore, it is well-known that the products of certain cells influence the behaviour of others.…”
