Effect of intranasally administered insulin on cerebral blood flow and perfusion; a randomized experiment in young and older adults
Insulin, a vasoactive modulator regulating peripheral and cerebral blood flow, has been consistently linked to aging and longevity. In this proof of principle study, using a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover design, we explored the effects of intranasally administered insulin (40IU) on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and perfusion in older (60-69 years, n=11) and younger (20-26...
متن کاملApplication of Arterial Spin Labelling in the Assessment of Ocular Tissues
Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality, capable of measuring blood perfusion without the use of a contrast agent. While ASL implementation for imaging the brain and monitoring cerebral blood flow has been reviewed in depth, the technique is yet to be widely used for ocular tissue imaging. The human retina is a very thin but highly stratified str...
متن کاملApplication of Arterial Spin Labelling in Detecting Retinal Ischemia
Purpose Here, we have tried to quantify the chorioretinal blood perfusion in patients who are clinically identified to be suffering from retinal ischemia using arterial spin labelling (ASL) MRI. Method Four participants, diagnosed with retinal ischemia based on their structural OCT and angiography test, were then scanned using anatomical MRI as well as ASL. We optimized MR parameters to maxim...
متن کاملFrom Macro- to Microvascular ASL: ASL Angiography & Flow Territory Mapping
Nowadays, a large number of methods exist for the visualization the vascular system and the arterial blood supply to various organs of the human body. Angiography techniques are used to image the bulk blood flow in the large vessels of the body like arteries and veins and allow the identification of vascular malformations and vascular alterations like stenosis or occlusions. Such diseases are q...
متن کاملQualitative and quantitative myocardial perfusion with arterial spin labeling
Introduction A reduction of myocardial blood perfusion is the main physio-pathologic mechanism determining ischemic heart disease. Whilst SPECT and echocardiography are considered the reference standards for imaging perfusion defects, MRI techniques are emerging. Dynamic imaging of the first-pass of a contrast agent is currently the most frequently used of these techniques, however, guidelines ...
