Parameters of facilitated glucose transport across the blood-brain barrier in subjects studied with positron emission tomography

Creators

Description

This contribution was undertaken as part of the interdisciplinary training for the author in this Laboratory, with the aim of providing an application of current concepts of membrane transport to a practical problem. It was intended to present a specific, mechanistic view of the physiology of glucose uptake in the brain on the basis of in vivo determinations of 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) distribution by positron emission tomography
