Table 3 Cerebral blood flow (CBF) in conscious and anesthetized rats, determined using [¹²⁵I]IMP

From: Conscious rat PET imaging with soft immobilization for quantitation of brain functions: comprehensive assessment of anesthesia effects on cerebral blood flow and metabolism

	CBF (mL/100 g/min)
Conscious	94.7 ± 6.0
MMB	63.8 ± 8.1**
KX	62.5 ± 19.1**
Chloral	104.6 ± 12.9
PTB	49.3 ± 4.9**
PF	52.9 ± 4.4**
IFL	115.6 ± 8.4**

Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6–7). **P < 0.01 compared with conscious rats as determined using ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test
