NON INVASIVE BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING: NADH AUTOFLUORESCENCE SIGNALS FROM EYE

用脉冲红外激发法诱导自体荧光 活体脑片中的能量携带分子NADH和NADPH 从小鼠，培养的新生大鼠海马神经元和皮质神经元， 和培养的PC12细胞。(推测)NADH和NADPH水平可能 NaCN浴施可增加Be，浴可降低Be 线粒体质子梯度解偶联剂的应用。光谱分析 该自体荧光光谱与NAD(P)H的溶液光谱非常吻合。 在小鼠的某些部位观察到弥漫的自体荧光。 大脑，同时观察到持续明亮的自体荧光 不明的，可能是上皮样的细胞型毛细血管。 脑片中单个神经元或突起的识别是 很难。然而，NAD(P)H的自体荧光成像有望 是神经细胞代谢的有用的非侵入性指标 系统。

Pulsed infrared excitation was used to induce autofluorescence of the energy-carrying molecules NADH and NADPH in living brain slices from mouse, cultured neonatal rat hippocampal and cortical neurons, and cultured PC12 cells. Levels of (putatively) NADH and NADPH could be increased by bath application of NaCN and decreased by bath application of mitochondrial proton-gradient uncouplers. Spectra of the autofluorescence closely match the solution spectra of NAD(P)H. Diffuse autofluorescence was observed in some sections of the mouse brain, while consistently bright autofluorescence was observed in an unidentified, possibly epithelial, cell-type lining capillaries. Identification of individual neurons or processes in a brain slice was difficult. However, autofluorescence imaging of NAD(P)H promises to be a useful non-invasive indicator of cellular metabolism in neural systems.
