Changes in the activity of glycogen phosphorylase and the content of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F-2, 6-P2) were monitored in tissues of the whelk, Busycotypus canaliculatum, over a 21-h course of environmental anoxia. Tissue-specific responses to anoxia were seen with respect to phosphorylase content: in the radular retractor muscle and foot, the content of phosphorylase a expressed rose rapidly over the initial hours of anoxia (maximal increases were 4.3- and 2.5-fold, respectively) while in the gill, content dropped 2-fold during anoxia. Phosphorylase content was modulated by two mechanisms, changes in the percentage of enzyme in the active a form and changes in the total amount (a + b) of enzyme expressed. Anoxia stimulated a dramatic reduction in F-2,6-P2 content in five tissues. In the ventricle, content fell by 224-fold with a t1/2 of only 35 min. Levels in gill, radular retractor, hepatopancreas, and kidney fell to 2.5–3.5% of control values within the first 8 h of anoxia. F-2,6-P2 content in foot muscle was not altered during anoxia. Changes in glycogen phosphorylase activities and F-2,6-P2 contents help to produce tissue-specific responses of glycolysis to environmental anoxia that acknowledge competing metabolic demands including metabolic rate depression, changes in fuel use, anaerobic energy needs, and carbohydrate use for anabolic purposes.

It is thought that gray and white matter (GM and WM) have different perfusion and diffusion thresholds for cerebral infarction in humans. We sought to determine these thresholds with voxel-by-voxel, tissue-specific analysis of coregistered acute and follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion- and diffusion-weighted imaging. Quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were analyzed from nine acute stroke patients (imaging acquired within 6 h of onset). The average values of each measure were calculated for GM and WM in normally perfused tissue, the region of recovered tissue and in the final infarct. Perfusion and diffusion thresholds for infarction were determined on a patient-by-patient basis in GM and WM separately by selecting thresholds with equal sensitivities and specificities. Gray matter has higher thresholds for infarction than WM ( P<0.009) for CBF (20.0 mL/100 g min in GM and 12.3 mL/100 g min in WM), CBV (2.4 mL/100 g in GM and 1.7 mL/100 g in WM), and ADC (786 × 10−6 mm2/s in GM and 708 × 10−6 mm2/s in WM). The MTT threshold for infarction in GM is lower ( P = 0.014) than for WM (6.8 secs in GM and 7.1 secs in WM). A single common threshold applied to both tissues overestimates tissue at risk in WM and underestimates tissue at risk in GM. This study suggests that tissue-specific analysis of perfusion and diffusion imaging is required to accurately predict tissue at risk of infarction in acute ischemic stroke.
