The effects of naftidrofuryl on local cerebral glucose utilization have been examined in 21 lightly restrained, conscious rats by means of the quantitative autoradiographic 2-deoxyglucose technique. Naftidrofuryl (15, 30, and 45 mg/kg, i.p.) did not significantly alter the rate of glucose utilization in any of the 29 gray matter or 4 white matter areas that were examined.
