The effects of aLA treatment on metabolic glucose activity as measured by microPET. One day after MCAO, decreased uptake of ¹⁸F-FDG was revealed in the PET images of coronal sections in the rat brains (A and C). By 7 days after MCAO, the hypometabolic region remained distinct in the control group (B), while it lessened significantly in ischemic rats receiving aLA (D).
