Using dynamic PDWI after intraperitoneal D2O injection, we observed a difference in the D2O distribution between aquaporin-4 knockout (AQP4-ko) and wild type (Wild) mice with MCA occlusion. The results suggest that blood flow changes and cell membrane water permeability have a complex relationship.
