MR signal-fat-fraction analysis and T2*weighted imaging measure BAT reliably on humans without cold exposure
Objective. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is compositionally distinct from white adipose tissue (WAT) in terms of triglyceride and water content. In adult humans, the most significant BAT depot is localized in the supraclavicular ...
[F-18]FDG Accumulation in Early Coronary Atherosclerotic Lesions in Pigs
<p>
We found increased uptake of [F-18]FDG in coronary atherosclerotic lesions in a pig model. However, uptake in these early stage lesions was not detectable with in vivo PET imaging. Further studies are needed to clarify ...
Change in abdominal, but not femoral subcutaneous fat CT-radiodensity is associated with improved metabolic profile after bariatric surgery
Background and aims: Computed tomography (CT)-derived adipose tissue radiodensity represents a potential noninvasive surrogate marker for lipid deposition and obesity-related metabolic disease risk. We studied the effects ...
Basal and cold-induced fatty acid uptake of human brown adipose tissue is impaired in obesity
<p>atty acids (FA) are important substrates for brown adipose tissue (BAT)
metabolism, however, it remains unclear whether there exists a
difference in FA metabolism of BAT between lean and obese healthy
humans. In ...
Brain substrate metabolism and ß-cell function in humans: A positron emission tomography study
<p>Aims</p><p>Recent clinical studies have shown enhanced brain glucose uptake during clamp and brain fatty acid uptake in insulin‐resistant individuals. Preclinical studies suggest that the brain may be involved in the ...
Midlife insulin resistance, APOE genotype, and late-life brain amyloid accumulation
ObjectiveTo examine whether midlife insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for brain amyloid accumulation in vivo after 15 years, and whether this risk is modulated by APOE epsilon 4 genotype.MethodsThis observational ...
Accuracy of echocardiographic area-length method in chronic myocardial infarction: comparison with cardiac CT in pigs
Background: We evaluated echocardiographic area-length methods to measure left ventricle (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) in parasternal short axis views in comparison with cardiac computed tomography (CT) in pigs ...
Targeting of vascular adhesion protein-1 by positron emission tomography visualizes sites of inflammation in Borrelia burgdorferi-infected mice
Background: In the present study, we sought to evaluate the feasibility of targeting vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) by positron emission tomography (PET) for the longitudinal quantitative assessment of Borrelia ...
