  • Rats II, V, VI, VII, and VIII had multiple experiments either over different days (rat II) or contemporaneously (rats V, VI, VII, and VIII) for a total of 17 datasets composed of 14 experimental sets of imaging data (18F-FDG) and 3 sets of chemical data (insulin and glucose plasma levels). Contemporaneous data refer to IAM data that were obtained together with systemic/contralateral microdose control data, at same time in same animal.

  • SM (8 experiments) = systemic microdose (including systemic microdose [Sys] and contralateral microdose [CL] effects after IAM); SF (3 experiments) = systemic full-dose comparator; Sham (3 experiments) = systemic exposure after no insulin or saline interventions (animal VIII had 2 datasets: systemic [Sys] and ipsilateral [IL]); IAM (3 experiments) = intraarterial microdosing intervention and ipsilateral (target) effects.
