Animal | Experiment | Weight (g) | Intervention | Route | Outcome |
I | SM | 480 | Insulin, 0.0083 IU/kg | Tail vein | 18F-FDG uptake |
II | SM | 590 | Insulin, 0.0041 IU/kg | Tail vein | 18F-FDG uptake |
SF | 590 | Insulin, 3.39 IU/kg | Tail vein | 18F-FDG uptake | |
SF | 573 | Insulin, 20.94 IU/kg | Tail vein | 18F-FDG uptake | |
III | Sham | 622 | No insulin | Not applicable | 18F-FDG uptake |
IV | SF | 495 | Insulin, 48.48 IU/kg | Tail vein | 18F-FDG uptake |
V | IAM SM (Sys + CL) | 267 | Insulin, 0.38 IU/kg | Left femoral artery | Insulin and glucose plasma levels |
VI | IAM SM (Sys + CL) | 294 | Insulin, 0.34 IU/kg | Left femoral artery | 18F-FDG uptake |
VII | IAM SM (Sys + CL) | 289 | Insulin, 0.346 IU/kg | Left femoral artery | 18F-FDG uptake |
VIII | Sham Sys + IL | 300 | Saline | Left femoral artery | 18F-FDG uptake |
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.
