Average CBF values of 0.43 and 0.13 mL/cm3 per minute were obtained for manually drawn gray and white matter regions, respectively.
In the present study, average CMRglu values of 0.33 and 0.11 μmol/cm3 per minute were obtained for manually drawn gray and white matter regions, respectively.
Body bends per minute were obtained by placing late L4 worms individually on NGM plates and screening 24 hrs later.
The maximum counts per pixel per minute were obtained from the ROIs and were converted to counts per milliliter per minute using a calibration constant.
To this lysate was added 15 ml of scintillation fluid, and radioactive counts per minute were obtained using a scintillation counter.
The esophageal and transdiaphragmatic pressure-time product (PTPes and PTPdi, respectively) per breath and per minute were obtained by measuring the area under the Pes or Pdi signal from the onset of their negative (for Pes) or positive (for Pdi) deflection to the end of inspiratory flow [ 24].
