Abstract
To investigate the effects of moderate ethanol exposure on glucose metabolism in APP/PS1 mice, an early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model, we employed an fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG)-micro-positron emission tomography (PET). We also utilized the comprehensive lab animal monitoring system (CLAMS) to measure whole-body energy expenditure and respiratory exchange ratio (RER). We found that ethanol exposure increased glucose metabolism in the brain as measured by FDG-PET. Also, CLAMS data indicated a decrease in RER, suggesting a shift toward fat utilization as the primary energy source. Following ethanol exposure in APP/PS1 mice, these findings reveal a distinct metabolic difference between brain and peripheral tissues.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Brain is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers manuscripts on all aspects of studies on the nervous system at the molecular, cellular, and systems level providing a forum for scientists to communicate their findings.
Molecular brain research is a rapidly expanding research field in which integrative approaches at the genetic, molecular, cellular and synaptic levels yield key information about the physiological and pathological brain. These studies involve the use of a wide range of modern techniques in molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, imaging and electrophysiology.
