SUV at 1 h showed a weak positive correlation with GLUT-1 glucose transporter expression (P = 0.055), whereas no significant relationship was found between SUV at 1 h and HK-II hexokinase expression. However, RI had no significant relationship with GLUT-1 glucose transporter expression, whereas RI and HK-II hexokinase expression had significant positive relationship (P < 0.05).
