	Right ACA—CBF		Right MCA—CBF		Right PCA—CBF
	r	p-Value	r	p-Value	r	p-Value
Glucose (mmol/l)	0.004	0.982	0.161	0.402	0.149	0.441
Pyruvate (μmol/l)	−0.363	0.049	−0.355	0.054	−0.120	0.526
Glycerol (μmol/l)	−0.026	0.897	0.007	0.971	0.119	0.545
Glutamate (μmol/l)	−0.324	0.093	−0.245	0.141	−0.067	0.736
Lactate (mmol/l)	−0.482	0.007a	−0.460	0.010	−0.242	0.198
L/P ratio	−0.354	0.055	−0.229	0.223	−0.348	0.060

The r-value is the Spearman correlation coefficient.

CBF, cerebral blood flow; L/P ratio, lactate/pyruvate ratio; ACA, anterior cerebral artery; MCA, middle cerebral artery and PCA, posterior cerebral artery.
