Note: Average values (with standard deviation) for the plasma-to-tissue rate constant K1, the tissue-to-plasma rate constant k2, volume of distribution (VT), distribution volume ratios (DVR), standard uptake value (SUV for 65–90 min) and corresponding tissue ratios (SUVR), with whole-brain and occipital cortex as a reference (ref), are shown for three regions of interest. Absolute cerebral blood flow (CBF) values obtained with pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling are shown for the first 15 min and for the 65–80 min periods. Data from a total of 6 experimental sessions obtained in two animals are shown, with baseline and hypercapnia values representing n = 3 sessions each (see Methods for further details).
