Figure 3

In vivo glucose uptake by the left ventricle of AR and sham rats as evaluated by micro positron emission tomography (μPET). Myocardial metabolic rate of glucose (MMRG) was evaluated as described in the Material and Methods section for each segment of the LV wall as schematized in the bottom right of the figure. Regional MMRG evaluation was realized in four different animals per group and results were expressed as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 between sham and AR groups. Sept: septal wall, Ant: anterior wall, Lat: lateral wall and Inf: inferior wall. At the right of the column graph, representative transaxial μPET scan images after injection of [18F]-FDG are illustrated.
