Figure 4: Organ-specific partitioning of glucose.
From: Dietary fatty acid metabolism of brown adipose tissue in cold-acclimated men
Coronal view (anterior–posterior projection) of whole-body 18FDG uptake after cold exposure before and after acclimation (a). Fractional (Ki) (b) and net (Km) (c) glucose uptake in cervicothoracic tissues (n=5). Biodistribution of 18FDG following whole-body PET scans (d) (n=7). Data are reported as the mean with 95% CI. ***P<0.001, **P<0.01, *P<0.05 versus BAT, Repeated measures two-way ANOVA with Bonferonni post hoc test. Brown arrows show supraclavicular BAT, red arrows show myocardium, orange arrows show m. psoas major. Scale bar, 10 cm.
