The effects of indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, upon local cerebral glucose utilization and local cerebral blood flow have been examined in 36 conscious, lightly restrained rats. Cerebral glucose utilization and cerebral blood flow were determined by means of the quantitative autoradiographic techniques that utilize, respectively, 2-deoxy-D-[1-14C]glucose and iodo[14C]antipyrine as tracer molecules. The administration of indomethacin (0.3-30 mg/kg iv) did not alter significantly the rate of glucose utilization in any of the 38 discrete regions of the central nervous system that were examined. In contrast, cerebral blood flow in every region was significantly reduced by between 30 and 50% from vehicle-injected control levels after the administration of 10 mg/kg iv indomethacin and by 5-31% after 1 mg/kg iv indomethacin. These results provide further evidence that prostaglandins may play a major role in cerebrovascular regulation, but they provide no positive evidence for a role in neuronal activity, as reflected in local cerebral glucose utilization.

The Relationship

The relationship between local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) and local CBF (LCBF) was examined during the action of γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) (900 mg/kg i.v.) in conscious rats. GHB induced discrepant effects on blood flow and metabolism. LCGU was markedly depressed in all structures examined, whereas LCBF was differently affected in that no related changes were observed. Global glucose utilization was markedly depressed (- 51%), whereas global blood flow was not significantly altered. The marked dissociation between the changes in global glucose utilization and global blood flow induced by GHB is reflected only to a minor degree in the local values inasmuch as the correlation between LCGU and LCBF was only slightly weakened and its heterogeneity was increased.

Cerebral Glucose Utilization

Background Compared to isoflurane, knowledge of local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) and local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) during sevoflurane anesthesia is limited. Methods LCGU, LCBF, and their overall means were measured in Sprague-Dawley rats (8 groups, n=6 each) during sevoflurane and isoflurane anesthesia, 1 and 2 MAC, and in conscious control animals (2 groups, n=6 each) using the autoradiographic 2-[14C]deoxy-D-glucose and 4-iodo-N-methyl-[14C]antipyrine methods. Results During anesthesia, mean cerebral glucose utilization was decreased: control, 56+/-5 micronmol x 100 g(-1) x min(-1); 1 MAC isoflurane, 32+/-4 micromol x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (-43%); 1 MAC sevoflurane, 37+/-5 micromol x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (-34%); 2 MAC isoflurane, 23+/-3 micromol x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (-58%); 2 MAC sevoflurane, 23+/-5 micromol x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (-59%). Local analysis showed a reduction in LCGU in the majority of the 40 brain regions analyzed. Mean cerebral blood flow was increased as follows: control 93+/-8 ml x 100 g(-1) x min(-1); 1 MAC isofurane, 119+/-19 ml x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (+28%); 1 MAC sevoflurane, 104+/-15 ml x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (+12%); 2 MAC isoflurane, 149+/-17 ml x 100 g(-1) x min(-1) (+60%); 2 MAC sevoflurane, 118+/-21 ml x 100 g(-1) min(-1) (+27%). LCBF was increased in most brain structures investigated. Correlation coefficients obtained for the relationship between LCGU and LCBF were as follows: control 0.93; 1 MAC isoflurane, 0.89; 2 MAC isoflurane, 0.71; 1 MAC sevoflurane, 0.83; 2 MAC sevoflurane, 0.59). Conclusion Mean and local cerebral blood flows were lower during sevoflurane than during isoflurane anesthesia. This difference cannot be explained by differing changes in glucose utilization because glucose utilization was decreased to the same extent in both groups.

Cerebral Glucose Utilization

The relationship between local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) and local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) was studied in two groups of normal conscious rats. LCGU was measured by the [14C]deoxyglucose technique and LCBF by the [14C]iodoantipyrine technique. When the LCGU of 39 brain structures was correlated with their respective values of LCBF an excellent correlation (r = 0.96) was obtained between LCGU and LCBF, demonstrating a tight coupling at a local level. Chronic metabolic acidosis was induced in two other groups of rats by adding 0.35 M NH4Cl to the drinking water for 5-6 days. This resulted in a significant (P less than 0.01) reduction in overall cerebral glucose utilization (-29%) and a nonsignificant reduction in overall cerebral blood flow (-8%). This dissociation between the overall cerebral glucose utilization and blood flow during metabolic acidosis cannot be taken as an indicator of uncoupling because the values for LCGU were still well correlated (r = 0.95) with the values for LCBF, indicating a resetting of the coupling mechanism to a new level.
