PY - 2024 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One: BASIC Exam, 2nd Edition AB - The cerebral metabolic rate of O2 (CMRO2) is 3–3.8 mL/100 mg/min. Cerebral metabolism has two basic components: neuronal activity and cellular integrity. The brain depends on aerobic glucose metabolism; hence, large O2 demand consumes 20% of total body O2 to maintain neuronal activity for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation.
