Early post-ischemic glucose metabolism is dependent on function of TLR2: a study using [18F]FDG PET-CT in a mouse model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Abstract:Purpose: An ischemic brain injury caused by cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affects cerebral function and presumably also brain glucose metabolism. The majority of patients who survive CA suffer from cognitive deficits and physical disabilities. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) plays a cruical role in inflammatory response in ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Since deficiency of TLR2 was associated with increased survival after CA-CPR, in this study glucose metabolism was measured using no… Show more
