BOLD signal has been accepted to have both signal
changes, positive change by the deoxyHb decrease as well
as negative change by oxygen paramagnetism. In this
study, in order to evaluate the role of oxygen, the
relaxation times and the MRI-derived blood volumes were
measured with 21% and 100% O2 gas inhalations in
ischemic rat brains. Our results demonstrated the
excessive oxygen molecules remained in the
stroke-affected tissues by the lack of oxygen metabolism
have different actions in terms of R1 and blood volume
changes, indicating that different levels of oxygen
molecules may be related to the different changes of
BOLD signals.
