Brain Metabolism in Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy:A PET Study J Comput Assist Tomogr 12:854-857, DeVolder,A.,et al, 1988 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Regional brain glucose metabolism has been studied in a case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with ragged red fibers,using positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose as the tracer.A marked decrease in glucose utilization was found in all gray structures,with a preponderance of metabolic alterations in posterior cortical regions and thalamus and a relative sparing of anterior cortical areas and basal nuclei.
