14C-acetate is preferentially taken up by astrocytes, and is a useful tool for measurement of glial metabolism. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of short-term ischemia on 14C-acetate uptake in the rat brain. The middle cerebral artery was occluded for 3, 10, or 30 minutes. Five minutes after reperfusion, rats were injected with 14C-acetate and decapitated 5 minutes later. Radioactivity concentrations in striatum and cerebral cortex were determined by autoradiography. Cerebral blood flow was also measured using 14C-iodoamphetamine. Neuronal cell death was measured by Nissl staining, and expression of monocarboxylate transporter-1 was examined by immunohistochemical staining. A significant reduction of 14C-acetate uptake was observed in striatum by 3 minutes of occlusion. The degree of reduction of 14C-acetate uptake and reduction area were increased with occlusion period. In contrast, within the same region the regional blood flow was increased by 10 minutes of occlusion, suggesting that uptake of 14C-acetate was independent of blood flow. No neural cell death was detected, and no significant alteration of monocarboxylate transporter-1 expression was observed by 30 minutes of occlusion. These results indicate that 14C-acetate uptake is a sensitive marker for glial metabolism in the ischemic rat brain.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D011849 Radioactive Tracers Radioactive substances added in minute amounts to the reacting elements or compounds in a chemical process and traced through the process by appropriate detection methods, e.g., Geiger counter. Compounds containing tracers are often said to be tagged or labeled.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002546 Ischemic Attack, Transient Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic).
