Description The real-time iontophoretic method using tetramethylammonium-selective microelectrodes and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging were used to measure the extracellular space volume fraction, tortuosity and apparent diffusion coefficient of water (ADCW) 240 min after the administration of pilocarpine in urethane-anaesthetized rats. The obtained data were correlated with extracellular lactate, glucose, and glutamate concentrations and the lactate/pyruvate-ratio, determined by intracerebral microdialysis.
