TL;DR
The mathematical model and experimental technique for quantitative simultaneous multiple-radionuclide autoradiography is developed and offers the advantage of a general approach in which any two or more radionuclides with different half-lives can be used to measure multiple parameters of cerebral function.
Abstract
We have developed the mathematical model and experimental technique for quantitative simultaneous multiple-radionuclide autoradiography. The technique is an extension of previously described dual-tracer methods and offers the advantage of a general approach in which any two or more radionuclides with different half-lives can be used to measure multiple parameters of cerebral function. The model allows the selection of nuclide doses and exposure times to balance cross-contamination of the multiple images with nuclide requirements. The technique was validated with homogeneous tissue sections containing combinations of 123I, 124I , 131I, 18F, 99mTc , 68Ga, and 14C, and then used in qualitative and quantitative investigations of interrelationships of local cerebral blood flow, glucose metabolism, and protein synthesis in normal and several pathological conditions in rats.

The method can be applied to most laboratory animals in the conscious state and is based on the use of 2‐deoxy‐D‐[14C]glucose as a tracer for the exchange of glucose between plasma and brain and its phosphorylation by hexokinase in the tissues.

The hypothesis that at least part of the increase in monovalent cation active transport produced by insulin is related to enhanced Na-K-ATPase activity is supported and the latter phenomenon is dependent on some components or properties of the intact cell.

Impairment of in vivo synaptosomal uptake is a marker of simultaneous widespread damage to neurones, rather than of a change restricted to the synaptic compartment, although the present findings cannot exclude reversible, substrate-limited impairment of uptake in vivo.

The results obtained demonstrate that double tracer autoradiography allows the very precise local assessment of cerebral blood flow and glucose utilization, and is particularly suited to the study of regional coupling processes under various experimental conditions.

This new technique offers several advantages over the previously developed methods of comparing tracers, brain uptake index and first pass extraction ratio, including the avoidance of disrupting normal cerebral blood–brain tracer exchange and the ability to compare uptakes at substructural levels, whereas the other methods are limited to larger areas.

A simplified technique that uses two radionuclide tracers has been devised to measure local cerebral glucose utilization (lCGU) and local cerebral blood flow (lCBF) in the same rat, providing values of lCGU and lCBF that are statistically indistinguishable from those derived from conventional single-isotope methods.

The results raise the possibility that in some neurons the failure of central regeneration may result from the cell's inability to increase its rate of protein synthesis in response to axonal injury.
