Physiologic 18F-FDG uptake in areas of supraclavicular fat in humans (“USA-Fat”) has
recently been recognized as 18F-FDG uptake in apparent brown adipose tissue (BAT) using …

This study evaluated the effect of various β-adrenergic agonists on 18F-FDG uptake in
brown adipose tissue (BAT) in rats using ex vivo biodistribution studies. Methods: Caffeine …

Background The uptake of 18 F-FDG in brown adipose tissue (BAT) may have important
implications in understanding the pathophysiology of BAT and obesity. Because of the …

Small-animal PET scanning with 18F-FDG is increasingly used in murine models of human
diseases. However, the impact of dietary conditions, mode of anesthesia, and ambient …

This study evaluates effects of anesthesia on 18F-FDG (FDG) uptake in mouse brain and
heart to establish the basic conditions of small animal PET imaging. Prior to FDG injection …

The effects of dietary condition and blood glucose level on the kinetics and uptake of 18F-
FDG in mice were systematically investigated using intraperitoneal and tail-vein injection …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has become a focus of research in the hope of finding a new
target to fight obesity. Metabolic BAT activity can be visualized with 18F-FDG PET/CT …

There is rising interest in recruitment of brown adipocytes into white adipose tissue (WAT) as
a means to augment energy expenditure for weight reduction. We thus investigated the …

Abstract Fluorine-18 fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) uptake in brown adipose tissue (BAT)
may generate FDG-PET scan misinterpretation. Recent studies have shown reduced FDG …

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess independent predictors of 2-deoxy-2-[18 F]
fluoro-d-glucose (18 F-FDG) uptake in brown adipose tissue (BAT) in patients undergoing …
