TBI leads to decrease of Asp C3/GLU C4 in both ipsi and contra hemispheres of TBI rats. (A) There was no significant differences in ¹³C incorporation into [3-¹³C]aspartate (ASP C3) between ipsi and contra sides of the brain from young TBI rats at 15, 30 and 60 min after i.p. injection of [1,6-¹³C]glucose. These time points represent 5h 15 min, 5h 30 min and 6 h post TBI injury. Values are mean ± S.E. of data for nmol ¹³C incorporated/mg protein from 6 TBI and 5 sham rats at each time points. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. (B) Ratio of Asp C3/GLU C4 decreased at 30 and 60min post injection. Values are mean ± S.E. of data from 6 TBI and 5 sham rats at each time points. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. *p<0.05 significant difference between ipsi and contra sides of TBI and sham brain as indicated the horizontal lines over the bars.
