"Comparison of the oxygen and glucose arteriovenous differences reveals one of the unique features
of the cerebral metabolism. As shown in table 2,
the oxygen and glucose consumptions are 156 and
31 µmole per 100gm per min., respectively. Since
6 moles of oxygen are required for the complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose, the rate of cerebral oxygen consumption is equivalent to only 26 µmole of glucose per 100 gm per min. Five µmole per 100 gm per min., or about 16 per cent of the total glucose consumption, remain unoxidized." See notes beneath table |
