in physiologically controlled puppies ( bp 66 +/- 3 mm hg ; pao2 71 +/- 2 mm hg ; paco2 35 mm hg , ph 7.39 +/- 0.04 ; hematocrit 39 +/- 2 % ) , the 2-deoxyglucose ( 2-dg ) autoradiographs and quantitative data reveal a characteristic pattern of regional energy metabolic needs in the normal newborn brain : highest glucose consumption values are found in brain stem nuclei ( inferior olivary nucleus 19 +/- 4 mumol/100 g/min ; vestibular nucleus 26 +/- 5 ; red nucleus 15 +/- 2 ) and in selected deep cerebral structures ( subthalamic nucleus 18 +/- 4 ; ventrolateral thalamic nucleus 12 +/- 2 , ... )
